=Digital Storytelling and Mobile Media Creation=



Throughout history, people have had a desire to tell their stories, whether it is through art, dance, music, poetry or prose, everyone has a story to tell. Digital storytelling is a short, video narrative that combines many digital elements: voice, video and still images, music and other sound effects. The ability to document an experience using digital storytelling is a creative process that can affect both the creator and the viewer in profound ways. As each person sees and perceives experiences in different ways, their approach to telling their story digitally will also differ.
