Digital storytelling involves the use of digital tools to help people tell their own personal stories in a compelling and emotionally engaging way. Digital Stories weave images, music, voice and narrative together to create rich dimensions in order to powerfully depict situations, characters and experiences. This webpage contains links to several digital stories and provides useful resources for creating your own digital story. An introduction to digital storytelling can be found on the Center for Digital Storytelling webpages and a copy of the PowerPoint presentation given by Dr Phil Gravestock (University of Gloucestershire) presented at BU in June 2008 can be viewed via the following link - I want to Tell you a Story...
A rich resource of digital stories from a range of service men and women can be found at Digiclub.
