I enjoyed participating in this project. Throughout the entire process, I learned more about digital storytelling and the versatility it presents as an instructional tool in the classroom. I saw how it could be used as a hook for a lesson or as a way to deliver content. I also saw how effective it is when the story is personalized. The students make connections to their own world when another's story is being told.

I can see how digital storytelling could be very effective for differentiating instruction for students who need more challenge or for those who approach learning with a visual, artistic intellectual approach. It could also be a dynamic tool to use when collaborating as a class to tell their classroom's story for that year. What a powerful tool digital storytelling can be!
