“I know only one thing about the technologies that await us in the future: We will find ways to tell stories with them.”  Jason Ohlar 

Everyone has a story to tell. Simply put, digital storytelling is using technology to tell a story. This mode of writing needs to include at least two forms of technology, for example text, narration, images, music, and/or video footage itself. Through digital storytelling a viewer can be sent on a journey into the very heart of the writer. With technology as the platform and using music, animation, photography, drawings, maps, and/or narration, writers can share their unique experiences and powerful voices.
