Digital storytelling is a great way to get learners engaged. Through the creation of a digital story they become the directors of what can be consumed by their peers. Digital storytelling gives every student a chance to be active participants in their own learning and the learning experience of others.

The Digital Directors Guild is a project designed to help practitioners develop digital storytelling projects for their classrooms.

They offer sample projects and teaching resources. The resources page of the Digital Directors Guild contains information regarding all stages of digital storytelling project development.

If you are contemplating and/or never tried digital storytelling, the Digital Directors Guild offers good advice on getting started. The getting started advice includes directions for using free video editing software. The Digital Directors Guild also provides samples of finished projects.
