Excerpt
When we take our students through the writing process to create a report or essay, they practice the different types of thinking and preparing and revising that go into a strong piece of writing. They learn that great writing doesn't appear by magic and that they can get better at writing. They learn the power of their own experiences and voices.
With digital storytelling, words and the writing process matter as much as ever. We still must take students through that process, from coming up with an idea to collecting information to focusing and organizing to drafting to revising.
The process isn't a completely different animal when applied to digital storytelling."
