“As with any art form, digital storytelling continues to
evolve to accommodate new technologies, purposes, and creative visions. The
important question for educators to ask is, “What does digital storytelling
offer education?” (Ohler, 2005)
I had never really thought about this before, but it proves
a very good point. Students start out drawing or telling stories and then
eventually they write down their own, more complex stories. With technology
evolving the way it has, it makes sense for their stories to be told digitally
and incorporate writing, art, and music. I also chose this quote because I
think digital storytelling is a great way to integrate technology into creative
writing. With that said, I don’t think there should be too many digital
storytelling assignments. They can be so time consuming and lengthy I think
that they should just be given sparingly.
I chose this photo because I thought it was a good representation of all of the skills that can help make a digital story more efficient.
