Digital Storytelling Definition

Digital storytelling is a multimedia, multisensory opportunity for storytelling. It can integrate any combination of TV and movie clips, home or personal video, photographs, music, text, and narration. It has a definite point of view and purpose. It can sometimes be more like poetry than narrative in that it is economical in its use of words and images. It seems to deal with a specific topic, which can be wide-ranging or very specific.

The process of creating digital storytelling involves thoughtful consideration of an overall topic, planning for the different multimedia elements, and recording of a narrative to bind the story together.
