Digital storytelling

“Digital Storytelling uses digital media to create

media-rich stories to tell, share and to preserve.

Digital stories derive their power through weaving

images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby

giving deep dimension and vivid color to characters,

situations, and insights.”

� Tell: Experiencing & Navigating MM stories

� Share: Web-based collaboration

� Preserve: DB driven storage of discourses
