My first experience with digital story telling was with Dr. Thompson in the CI 505 class. Since then I have used the concept on two occasions to teach Narratives in Academic Writing. I am always trilled with the personal touch that my students give to their narrations. One thing that stands out is that they love to tell the stories from their personal point of view and in a more reflective way than they usually do on paper.
I can't wait to have more knowledge and experience with Digital Story Telling.

I agree Richmond. I think this could be a huge tool to present information to kids as well as having kids respond to a unit or book as a post reading activity. You could also have them develop a movie as they read through a book - possibly reflections on each chapter or section. There are a ton of ideas that we could do with this as teachers.
Glad to hear that you are already applying these concepts to your own teaching. There are definitely different ways to tell digital stories but capitalizing on 1st person narrative is always a useful learning experience.
