Digital Story Telling
Digital storytelling, the technique of combing narrative with digital media, into short movies emerged as a practice in the 1990s. The technique exploited the increasing accessibility of technologies for capturing audio and images and was exploited particularly for community and social projects. It can be seen as an adaptation of the storytelling tradition which has existed for more than 6,000 years (Abrahamson, 1998). Digital stories have been described by The Digital Storytelling Association (http://www.dsaweb.org/) as “the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling”;. Meadows (2003) identifies it as a social practice, telling stories with easily accessible low-cost technology.
