What is Digital Storytelling?
• A blending of the age-old art of storytelling
  and the power of new technology that is easy
  to learn and use
• Creating and telling stories using text, audio,
  and images to creat a deeper understanding
  for themselves as the author and greater
  emotional connection for the audience
7 Elements of Digital Storytelling
1.   Point of View – What is the main point of the story and the
     author’s perspective?
2.   A Dramatic Question – What is the key question that keeps the
     viewer’s attention and will be answered at the end of the story.
3.   Emotional Content – Serious issues that come alive in a personal
     and powerful way and connects the story to the audience.
4.   Voice – A way to personalize the story to help the audience
     understand the context.
5.   The Soundtrack – Music or other sounds that support and
     embellish the storyline.
6.   Economy – Using just enough content to tell the story without
     overloading the viewer.
7.   Pacing – The rhythm of the story and how slowly or quickly it
     progresses.
