Through looking around on Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling, I found myself gaining tremendous amounts of knowledge on this subject. One aspect that I really enjoyed was that the website had tabs running across the top of the page. This allowed me to quickly--and easily--access the information I wanted, and as I clicked on the 'About Digital Storytelling', the first sentence clued me into just what this topic entails. According to this site, digital storytelling is simply, "The practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories". What a cool way to engage students in the classroom! Digital storytelling opens up a whole new aspect to learning about things in a new, and interesting way, otherwise impossible to accomplish without this method!
To further help viewers understand what exactly digital storytelling is, there is another tab labeled, 'Example Stories' where those wanting to see digital storytelling in action can watch and gain ideas on possible topics. There is also another tab, 'How To' where a list of steps are shown to help teach how to create a digital story.
If you ever need help on figuring out not only what digital storytelling is, but how to make one yourself, this is the website for you! From this website I have gained new knowledge and now am excited to apply what I have learned and create a story myself!
