Digital Storytelling in the Classroom

The ancient tradition of storytelling meets the digital age. When students create a movie or interactive slideshow to tell their story, learning becomes personal. With digital storytelling, students can:

* Improve their writing.
* Show creativity.
* Have a voice.
* Digital storytelling projects lend themselves well to portfolio assessment.

Create movies and slide shows from photos and videos—right in your classroom. You can use either Windows Live Movie Maker or Photo Story.

You can also download a Digital Storytelling e-Book.
