DEJ#4 Digital Storytelling
"Digital stories provide powerful media literacy learning opportunities because students are involved in the creation and analysis of the media in which they are immersed. When students do the hard workd of marring story and technology to express themselves to others, the can see more clearly the persuasive nature of electronic culture in which they live."
-I believe that digital stories are a wonderful and new way for students and teachers to present information. Instead of writing a book report and doing a poster-board, a student can now complete a digital story. It's a much more interactive way of teaching and therefore more intriguing for the children.The teachers can use digital stories during lecture or when presenting new information.
