Digital StoryTelling

Digital storytelling is a great way for students to use their voice when sharing what they have learned. 

• Let's students learn where they are - using this technique allows students to individualize their learning 
• Take a pedagogical approach to digital storytelling - Focus on the pre-production. It's more important than the final product. 
• Remember! It's not about a perfect product, but rather the process of learning
• Failure is a Learning Tool
