Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this book for a college course literature circle assignment. What I like about this book is the many websites and internet resource links that provide examples of Web 2.0 technology and tools to begin storytelling in the classroom. The chapters are logically presented making learning digital storytelling easy even for novices like myself. I created a very basic Windows Movie Maker video using still pictures in a matter of minutes. For the educator who wishes to dabble in digital storytelling, this book is an excellent resource and tutorial guide.

Storytelling is an age-old art form. With Web 2.0 and the tools already available on most computers, students can use text, music, sound effects, videos, and more to create a multimedia presentation that links them to the world beyond the classroom. Storytelling has the potential to unleash creativity, engage, and motivate. Applicable across the curriculum, digital storytelling teaches students to work collaboratively and use new technologies, skills they will be required to have in the workforce of the future.
This book offers an overview of digital storytelling as well as its variations, including e-portfolios, digital photo essays, and scrapblogs. The many recommendations, overviews, and explanations of digital storytelling tools, along with lists of additional digital storytelling resources, will help educators to apply this exciting technology in their classrooms.
