Digital Storytelling in the Classroom

Digital Storytelling in the Classroom
www.teachingteachers.com

Digital storytelling takes the art of telling a story and combines it with the use of technology.  Students are so excited about using computers, what a great way to encourage students to write and tell stories.  Digital storytelling can be used to tell a personal story, share educational learning, and to enhance writing curriculum.

"Human beings are naturally predisposed to hear, remember, and to tell stories.  The problem for teachers, parents, government leaders, friends and computers is to have more interesting stories to tell."
-Roger Schank

Here is another link I found showing different ways that digital storytelling has been used within education and out.
