I enjoy using digital storytelling a lot in class. Thank for sharing this post as I am always fascinated with the use of web2.0 empowering literacy to greater heights. I would love to be part of these sessions. Keep us posted.

I meant to add:

The idea of student writers “hearing” their voice and then revisions is a powerful concept and one that we must continue to explore, in my view.

I like that “art” is part of the discussion. I think the visual often gets left out of the writing classroom.

Interesting: the most powerful digital stories seem to have a sadness element to it. (my opinion — not in yer notes).

A colleague in National Writing Project and I started this blog last year to investigate how digital storytelling can move onto the web: http://techstories.edublogs.org/

Our culmination project was the Collaborative ABC Movie Project: http://k12online.wm.edu/TheCollaborativeABCMovie_Project.htm

Thanks for the live blogging
