Summary:

"This book will make the argument for normalizing the practice of Digital Storytelling activities in the classroom. But simultaneously making the case for the relevance of Digital Storytelling inside of today's tech-driven society and unpacking the educational relevance of the process of Digital Storytelling, this book hopes to provide teachers with a new outlook for why Digital Storytelling is critically important and how to integrate these processes seamlessly into the classroom"-- Provided by publisher.
