Description:
Digital storytelling is simply using digital tools to tell stories. Stories don't necessarily just have to be for Language Arts teachers. Think outside the box! How could you use digital storytelling in your non-language arts classroom? This link has some ideas for all subject areas (http://www.kerpoof.com/teach?c=lesson_plans). They are specific to elementary and middle school but could probably be adapted for high school students as well.

**Assignment:**

 * 1) On your Digital Dozen wiki, create a new page called "Digital Storytelling".
 * 2) Briefly explore the digital storytelling tools listed in "What Digital Storytelling are Available". Read the tutorials and idea links for each tool.
 * 3) Select the digital storytelling tool that you like best and create an account. Create something you can use in your classroom.
 * 4) Answer the discussion questions found on the Discussions tab of this wiki page.
 * 5) On your "Digital Storytelling" page on your Wikispace, write your ideas for using digital storytelling sites personally or in your classroom. Add a link to your creation. Be sure to follow specific directions for each tool to ensure that everyone will be able to see your story.
 * 6) Read the answers to the discussion questions posted by your fellow Digital Dozen classmates. Respond to any that you feel strongly about or have something to add.
