Digital storytelling combines the art of oral storytelling with digital tools like images, graphics, music and sound. It empowers teachers to communicate and integrate technology into the curriculum. Digital storytelling allows authors to weave personal stories using these digital elements along with their own narration. Elements like images, sound and voice enhance the effect of digital stories. Teachers and students can be assessed on their ability to create digital stories and evaluate elements like themes, cultural values and collaborative roles.
