Like any good guru, I love the art of telling a good story. I also enjoy sharing that passion with teachers and students alike. The latest use of technology that I have found useful with storytelling, voice, creativity, etc. is digital storytelling.
Digital storytelling is a great way to blend what kids love to use (technology) and the skills of writing a focused, purposeful piece. Here are a few websites to help you along your way.
