How to Tell Stories...Digitally!!!

Digital Storytelling is a great way to get kids involved and keep them engaged in learning and even listening. It is a pretty basic way of telling a story or conveying a message to students. The University of Houston made a website to explain the ins and outs of Digital Storytelling. Not only does the website give the background of the tool, but it also gives a brief explanation of how to create them, use them, implement them, and learn from them. even after all the explanations, the most useful part of the website was the example stories tab. It gave some great examples of educational and useful digital stories. They are stories that can be used to teach different topics and subjects in classrooms, and they can simply be used as a basis for making your own digital stories. The website is all about how teachers and students alike can use these to learn and to teach and to keep students engaged and invested in learning. The site is easy to navigate with its large tabs (top and side of the screen) and its pictures and explanations. It does a great job of conveying what it means to convey and is a helpful resource in teaching how to use these wonderful tools.
