What is Digital Storytelling? Digital Storytelling is the practice of using
computer-based tools to tell stories. Most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. Digital stories can contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. 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
