Digital+Story+Telling

 = Digital Story Telling = = A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words = Telling a digital story is the same as telling a regular story. The story elements need to be the same; an audience is needed; the main character must still have a struggle, etc...

The difference is that digital story telling gives you a wider variety of options as to what the medium is. You can use your own voice, music, your own pictures, drawing etc....to complete the project. AND with the use of Web 2.0 tools like Voice Thread, slideshare and Rock You, your story can be shared with people all over the world, not just with the people in your classroom.
