2. Digital Storytelling Jan Jaeger Becky Mabra Karin Porter Linda Roach Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD

3. What is Digital Storytelling • It takes the ancient art of oral storytelling and uses technical tools to weave a tale using images, graphics, music and sound mixed together with the author's own voice.

4. Purpose: It’s more than just a presentation or report. Digital Storytelling is where students can make meaning out of information by making it personal. The information will include their feelings, their thoughts and possibly their experiences. Through the student’s digital story, others will be more connected to the information even though they didn’t investigate the topic because of the student’s deep understanding and how they presented the information.

5. 6 Elements of a Good Digital Story • Living Your Story • Unfolding Lessons Learned • Developing Creative Tension • Economizing the Story Told • Showing Not Telling • Developing Craftmanship *http://www.digitales.us/resources/story_elements.php#h
