Digital Storytelling English 9A, Dodge “When students are engaged in the process of creating a digital story, they must synthesize a variety of literacy skills for the authentic product: researching, writing, organizing, presenting, interviewing, problem-solving, assessing, as well as employing interpersonal and technology skills.” –Paige Baggett Digital Storytelling English 9A, Dodge

What is Digital Storytelling? The practice of using computer-based tools (graphics, audio, video, and Web publishing) to tell stories. “Today the use of digital storytelling is being practiced in neighborhood community centers, schools, libraries and businesses, by novice technology users to those with advanced skills. In the field of education, teachers and their students, from early childhood classrooms through graduate school, are using digital storytelling in many different content areas and across a wide range of grade levels” (digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu).
