__//Digital Storytelling//__ Digital storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. Digital stories usually have some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. And the topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the retelling of historical events, from exploring life in your own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between.
