Digital Story Telling is now easier than ever to do with iPads and Tablets right in your classroom. Mobile devices today can be used to weave together audio, video, images, & text in creative ways. This slideshare will show you how to get students away from consuming content to be creators of content and then publishing it as a digital book.
