Digital Storytelling in Plain English - Week 3 #2

This week the featured video that I choose to blog about was "Digital Storytelling in Plain English" uploaded by Amy Cox. Amy and the other contributors to this video explained how digital storytelling works in a fun and easy to understand way.

As Amy and her contributors point out in the video below, most people are familiar with storytelling in much more traditional forms, such as stories at the "magical carpet in the Kindergarten classroom", which is my personal favorite place for storytelling. However, it is also pointed out that there is a much more controlled way to view/hear a story - through DIGITAL STORYTELLING.

When you create a digitial story, it is much more accessible than that elusive Kindergarten rug,  to people around the world. Digitial stories allow one to have much more control. If you do the voice over and don't like, or stumble on a word, or sneeze in the middle of the story - you get a redo! If your voice or tone don't match the flow of the story - you get a redo! You can redo and remake your digital story until it is perfect! How amazing!!
