1.Digital Storytelling is combining art and people’s stories with digital text, video, and audio to create a topic of information. The story is usually represented around a type of theme.
2.Children often have trouble paying attention during class, usually during long, boring lectures. A presentation featuring Digital Storytelling would help break up the time they are learning, with interactive pictures, video, and audio pertaining to the lesson they are learning. They will be able to pay more attention in class and remember the lesson.
3.Digital Storytelling can be used through any of the K-12 lessons such as writing, reading, language arts, math, science, art, music, and history.
