Digital Storytelling

What is Digital Storytelling?

Simply put, it is using technology

to combine narratives

with images, sound and video

for a variety of purposes.

The process of development is

as important as the final product.

Digital storytelling promotes

students' higher order critical

thinking skills

by using a variety of learning styles

such as aural, kinesthetic and visual

to engage the creator and its audience.
