WHAT are digital stories?
Digital stories are short multi-media pieces that combine a narrated script, images, text, and a musical soundtrack. The script is generated by the storyteller and the images usually come from his/her family photo album and what can be found around the home, office, and internet. Digital stories are typically 2-3 minutes long with a focused theme.
