Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling is an exciting way for students to learn. Students are able to create a multimedia project explaining what they have learned showing that they understand the topic. It is also a fun way to get them involved. As a student, I would have gotten much more involved, had more fun, and retained more information with a project like digital storytelling.

This is such a wonderful way to get students to learn because they are so immersed in media everyday. Students today are growing up in an age where media is everywhere and everyone knows how to use and create it. Today's students consider technology a part of their everyday lives so a project like this is natural for them and something they would enjoy. "Digital stories provide powerful media literacy learning opportunities because students are involved in the creation and the analysis of the media in which they are immersed." They are able to be a part of the creation of the media that is in their lives everyday.
