Digital Storytelling


Digital Storytelling is a presentation tool that teachers can have their students use in the classroom.  It involves students developing clips that are a couple of minutes long with a narrative that is told in the students own voice.  The narrative is then played over a background musical track (to add emotional tone to the presentation) and is illustrated with still images.  I believe that Digital Storytelling is a great way to allow students to show their creativity, and it may also help students be more comfortable with presentations if they fear public speaking.  It would also allow students to use some of the newest forms of technology and to incorporate digital media into their work.
