Digital story telling is a modern teaching technique that incorporates images, music, narrative and voice together to illustrate experiences, situations, characters, and insight. Digital story telling goes back to the ancient art of story telling when the listener would paint their own vivd picters of the owrds that were being spoken to them. This form of story telling makes listening so much more easier for the listener. Visual story telling allows a story and its character to have more depth and to me described in every aspect.
Digital story telling is such a usefull tool to use in any situaation exspecially if it is done with the right amount of effort and if it is done properly. Digital story telling is work really well in my opinion with retaining information that has been said in the story because of the images in the digital story. Most people are visual and auditory earners so for both elements to be used at the same time the listener/ learner will be able to retain more information without the stress of reading it though a textbook or hearing it as if it was a lexture in a classroom.
Digital story tellin is also looked at as a movement to some people because it presents change and because so many voices and stories are heard. This movent has alot to do with technology, we are always trying to advance in how we recieve stories and how we store them as well. Digital story telling takes out the chance of a story being misinterpreted and retold inproperly. Assisting a story with pictures just makes listening much easier, because most of the human race responds to visuals, and tend not to listen as much as look. So visual story telling will be an attempt to heighten both.
Not only is digitlal story telling a new innovative way to tell a story, but it also can be a tool in studying. Many student leaving high school and entering collage are not familair or do not know how to studyon their own. It is a process in it sellf for people to figure out what way they best recieve innformation. Weither its visually or through listening, sometimes it is both. Visual story telling addresses all the channels that humans recieve and retain information. It provides you with images to referance when talking about a subject or story, or writing about it.

Telecollaborative lessons are basically a project that involes sharing infromation with another person or a group of people over the internet. This kind of lesson is a conducted in a collabortive manner. Telecollaborative lessons are very curret with todays society and because of that it is very effective.
Telecollaborative lessons teaches students so many things at once. For example students become computer savy. They learn how to work the internet, certain websites, and they are more likely to be online and using these same skills for the rest of their lives even after the assignment takes place.
Students also get to work with other people; they get to network all over the globe and share information with one another. This lesson give student the opportunity to veiw things in different perspective as well such as other students culture, live style, and customes. Even more intresting students get to see how much they have in common with eachother.
Although students main objective is complete the assignment at hand they benifit from the telecollaboartive lesson in so many other things. The basically get an experience of a lifetime. These skills required to complete this assignment will be timeless and usefull. It has been recorded that students lives have been changed just by relating and communicating to other students in different parts of the world. This gets students interested in their assignments they biuld up an appetite to learn and share information with other people their same age groups with similar values.
Their are many different lessons to use when teaching students but in my beliefs i feel that this particular lesson is more dinamic and inovative than them all. This lesson helps students prepare for life. Students get to multitask, network, and in a sense play all at once and what could be a better sigt than a student learning while at play? Teachers also learn from the students experience because every student is different and learn in different ways teachers get a chance to sit back and observe how their students learn and share information that they've learned with onther people.
