Igniting Student Creativity Through Digital Storytelling

Jennifer Carrier Dorman http://jdorman.wikispaces.com/ http://cliotech.blogspot.com/

Digital storytelling is the process of writing about a story, and adding the multimedia elements of voice, imagery, and music to create a visual story.

“ The process of digital storytelling permits students to recapture creativity, develop it, intensify it, apply it, extend it . . .”
