3. Digital
Storytelling the
practice of
combining
narrative with
digital content,
including images,
sound, and video,
to create a short
movie, typically
with a strong
emotional
component.

4. Constructing a
narrative and
communicating it
effectively require
the storyteller to
think carefully
about the topic and
consider the
audience’s
perspective.

6. A digital story typically
begins with a script.
The storyteller then
assembles rich media
to support the ideas
and emotions in that
script, including music
or other audio effects,
personal or public-
domain images,
animations or video,
and other electronic
elements.
10. To be ready for college, workforce
training, and life in a technological
society, students need the ability to
gather, comprehend, evaluate, synth
esize, and report on information and
ideas, to
conduct original research
in order to
answer questions or solve
problems, and to analyze and create
a high volume and extensive range
of print and non-print texts in media
forms old and new.
11. The need to conduct
research and to produce
and consume media is
embedded into every aspect
of today’s curriculum. In like
fashion, research and media
skills and understandings
are embedded throughout
the Standards rather than
treated in a separate
section.
13. Creating and watching
digital stories has the
potential to increase the
information literacy of a
wide range of students.
14. Moreover, digital
stories are a natural
fit for e-
portfolios, allowing
students not only to
select
representative
artifacts from their
academic careers
but also to create
compelling
resources that
demonstrate the
student’s learning
and growth.
