Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-10 00:00:00 Cynthia St-Pierre I'm not sure why this man's editor allowed him to use the annoying Captain Obvious cliche so many times, but aside from that this book was useful. I was worried it would be irrelevant when it started out saying, "These days, cell phones can be used as cameras for still images as well as video; they can collect audio, play music, & download material from the web." Thankfully though, it didn't feel irrelevant since he focused on the quality of the story first and foremost ' which never goes out of style. From what I read, I was able to create a few new techniques for helping students plan their stories. Going deeper, it made me reflect on what good digital "grammar" looks like and how we should teach students to responsibly use media we find online.

Storytelling can be a wonderful family activity. Digital Storytelling can be a tool for a family to record and share it's story while enhancing the children's literacy, media and learning abilities.
