What is Digital Storytelling?
“Digital storytelling is a natural progression from oral storytelling; one might even say that storytelling plus technology equals digital storytelling. Effective digital storytelling uses the multimedia components of narrative, text, images, and sound (e.g., music, narration). Digital storytelling is an online personal narrative in digital format. Digital storytelling can operate outside of institutions or organizations, although many organizations such as museums and libraries are using digital storytelling to help achieve their goals for community engagement. Many people discover digital storytelling through workshops on how to use multimedia technology. Through the skills, digital competencies, and literacies learned in these environments, storytellers can continue creating on their own narratives in a digital format. Digital storytelling is not just about the transfer of knowledge; it is also a movement designed to amplify the voice of a community. Everyone can participate because everyone has a story to tell.”
