Responce- I think that Digital story telling technology is very beneficial to the teacher as well as the students. Students can be creative, and expressive. The instructor can engage the students in technology that they may not be familiar with. This technology gives the students a basic format to work which keeps the students work organized and enables the teacher to better assess the students work. The instructor can also determine if the students understand the idea putting together a story unlike written work which may be difficult to judge the students understanding. The student can take advantage of this technology by expressing themselves through their work. They can be more creative by designing their story instead of writing the standard essay. I believe that digital story telling technology can be very useful in the classroom.

I agree with you. I also think that digital storytelling would be beneficial to students and teachers. Digital storytelling gives students the ability to be more creative for class and expose their personalities more than a traditional paper would allow.
