This website has been developed for educators seeking to infuse traditional writing instruction with new emerging technologies in such a way as to excite young writers through the composition of personal narrative stories, integration of family photographs, recorded voice narration and multi-media production.

If you're not sure what digital storytelling is, it might help to think of filmaker Ken Burns, whose documentaries such as Civil War and Jazz utilized voice narration over still photographs, with some music in the background. Those films were examples of digital storytelling.

If you would like to see a sample digital story that I composed using clip art (which is used within this site), you can access that short flick here. (3.9 MB Windows Movie File, 2:26 minutes long )
