Digital Stories
Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Digital stories derive their power by weaving images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby giving deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences and insights. (Leslie Rule, Digital Storytelling Association) The spoken word is a hugely compelling multimedia art form and instructional product. Students have to research and write a script, read it aloud, know what they are reading, and infuse it with emotion and intention.
