In my field digital storytelling is pretty much what you could shorten film/music into. But I want to capitalize on what digital storytelling could do in the classroom. Many kids have a tough time paying attention to text books, and boring lectures, now imagine a text book turning into a anime movie, or an album, something along those lines, how much easier would it be to have things you use for enjoyment to study with? In my lifetime, I have found it much easier to learn something from a movie, rather than reading black words in the same pattern lines on the same white pages with little painting clips embedded on the corner of each page. Imagine a world where everything educational was visual or audio, not only would school be more fun, but kids would actually look forward to going and they would want to comprehend what they are watching.
I provided two links talking about digital storytelling and its impact on education as well as some web seminars on how to use this successfully.
