"Stories bring us together, encourage us to understand and empathize, and help us to communicate. Long before paper and books were common and affordable, information passed from generation to generation through this oral tradition of storytelling. Consider Digital Storytelling as the 21st Century version of the age-old art of storytelling with a twist: digital tools now make it possible for anyone to create a story and share it with the world."
Via Beth Dichter, María Florenzano
Storys are a key part of any instructional design, and in other areas of professional development as well.
My son who happens to have Down syndrome LOVES being a public speaker at education conferences. I think the digital storytelling would be a great addition to his talks about inclusive education!
