Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling Week of 04/04/2005 http://www.coe.uh.edu/digital-storytelling/ Digital Storytelling uses digital/multimedia tools such as graphics, audio, animation, video and web publishing to tell stories. Created by Bernard R.Robin, Ph.D. from the University of Houston's College of Education, the site offers information about the tools themselves, examples of digital stories, project rubrics, additional resources, and how to get started. Rating: A fine resource site for bringing stories to life!
