Digital Storytelling. Digital Storytelling. What is digital storytelling? Making a digital story does not require expensive equipment or complicated software. With a little guidance they can be made on home, classroom or business computers with relatively simple software such as iMovie (Apple Mac OSX) or MovieMaker (Windows XP and above). Creating a digital story, especially working with others in a community, school or corporate workshop, can be a wonderfully creative and transforming process. Once made, a digital story can be burnt onto a DVD and viewed on a DVD player and TV, projected with a data projector in a home theatre, meeting room or outdoor event, up-loaded to a website to be viewed online as streaming video, even broadcast on TV.
Digtal Stories can also be uploaded to online video publishing sites such as YouTube or Vimeo. Once published they can be embedded in a website or blog.
