Digital Storytelling Tools

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, digtial stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digitial stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes.
