"Creating a digital story taps skills and talents -- in art, media production, story telling, project development, and so on -- that might otherwise lie dormant within many students but that will serve them well in school, work, and in expressing themselves personally."
Response
I truly believe that digital story telling is a wonderful new application that teachers can use to help their students express their knowledge in a different and new way. Digital storytelling allows students to better enhance many skills that they would normally never use. I chose the above quote because I agree that children do not properly use many skills available to them. The photo that I have chosen for this article is a description of many different skills that are used while using digital storytelling. Although digital storytelling is an application that many people do not understand how to use, it is very user-friendly and easy to learn. If teachers would take the time to learn these new technologies, students would benefit from the new skills available to them!
