Overview

The guide provides an introduction to the concepts of digital storytelling and the applications of video in the classroom. Student created videos possess the potential to further enhance the ways in which students learn and build real world skill sets. Broad in nature, digital storytelling represents a number of diverse methods and tools. You will find suggestions for resources, tutorials, assessments, and learning goals in the guide.
