It's been said, “everyone has a story to tell.” Stories have been used for centuries to entertain, enlighten and educate individuals and groups. The social element of stories allows students to step out of their own lives and see things from new perspectives. This technique has been long recognized as a powerful learning tool. Digital storytelling is a vehicle we use to increase information literacy, writing, and computer technology skills so our students are actively engaged in the learning process through face-to-face and online collaboration. Multimodal literacy creates knowledge and enhances learning with students being active participants in the digital universe. Digital storytelling offer students another way to reflect on and articulate their understanding of course concepts, increase retention, promote meaning as well as bring clarity and understanding to complex topics, while building community in the classroom and beyond.
