Sal: Hello, my name is Sal D’Angelo and today we are going to delve into the wonderful world of digital storytelling!

Main theme up full

Sal: In this modern world we live in I’m sure we have all had our fair exposure to Digital Storytelling whether it be watching a movie, TV, or a documentary for history class.

Sal: Digital Storytelling combines many things useful to education. It combines computer technology with creative expression. It also forces students to use planning and organization skills as well as creative skills, writing skills, and summarizing skills. Now that we have briefly discussed what the benefits of digital storytelling are, lets get into what makes good Digital Storytelling possible.

Sal: Many different elements come together to make digital Storytelling good and depending on what kind of project you are doing, the elements you use may change. These elements include point of view, emotional content, the use of voice, the soundtrack, a videos economy, pacing, universal story elements, collaboration, conflict, and closure.

Sal- Good Digital Storytelling also depends on the effective use of text, images, film making and audio devices. If any of these are misused it can cause a video to crash.

Sal- I have had experience with digital storytelling and now we are going to dissect one of my video’s I made earlier this year. Titled “Toy Troubles”.

Sal- The elements we can see so far include the soundtrack, a point of view, conflict and pacing. The video starts out kinda slow but as you will see, now that conflict has been introduced the pacing will speed up.

Sal- Now that we’ve dissected what makes good digital storytelling it is important to recognize the amount of work that goes into making projects like this. The completion of a digital story marks the successful use of computer technology, creative expression, planning and organization skills, creative skills, writing skills, and summarizing skills. Digital storytelling should be introduced at a middle school level so when the students get to high school they can prefect their already tuned skills with interest and knowledge.
