Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. The topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one's own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between.
Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling
Anyone who has a desire to document life experience, ideas, or feelings through the use of story and digital media. Usually someone with little to no prior experience in the realm of video production but time to spend a few days attending a workshop and developing a story with creative support and technical assistance from compassionate, highly experienced facilitators.

Digital Storytelling
In October, 2010, we invited educators from around the world to participate in a digital storytelling survey. In March, 2011, we presented the results of the survey at the Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education Conference in Nashville, Tenessee. The purpose of this research study was to determine how educators, students and others around the world are using digital storytelling to support the educational process. This study provides a general framework about educational uses of digital storytelling in different countries and describes the different perceptions of people in different cultures about this technology. An online survey was used to collect responses from a group of educators, students and others in educational settings to determine how they are using digital storytelling for educational purposes.
