Digital storytelling is becoming a common trend in classrooms now as a way integrate reading and writing with technology. With digital stories, students are more engaged in the process of reading and writing because they can use a wide range of technological resources to make their story come to life. I have seen firsthand at my school the power of digital stories and how they have transformed learning in a classroom. The school had a display in the lobby to showcase the various digital stories of the students as well as highlighting them on the school's website. I enjoyed reading Helen Barrett's presentation on Digital Storytelling to see how the process works. I liked how she clearly demonstrates the connection between theory and practical application of it in the classroom. Digital stories seem to be a great way to get students excited about reading and writing. And there are so many tools that can be used to create them!
