Digital storytelling – the practice of using digital tools to tell a story.

  • Digital stories
    • Start with a GOOD story
    • Usually include various forms of multimedia
    • Can be used in nearly every subject and with all topics
      • For example, create a book about famous women for Women’s History Month. Share a story about a woman that you consider a hero and why. Add images and short video clips.
