Digital Storytelling is the intersection between the age- old art of storytelling and access to powerful technology that is easy to learn and use. Stories have been used throughout history and by all cultures to pass on important knowledge. With the advent of flip and phone digital video cameras, easy to use software, web based editing programs, and the Internet we can now tell, capture and disseminate our stories in new ways and to a broader population. There has never been a better time to tell and capture stories. Through stories we learn about ourselves, each other and about the world we live in. Storytelling can return education to its exciting, mysterious, and engaging roots. Technology opens the door the using exciting tools and creativity to tell the stroy, enhance a lesson, and explore new and old topics.

In the quest to grab the attention of a digital generation and prepare them to be world leaders and life long learners we need a new set of tools. The stand and deliver, memorization, trivial pursuit, drill and kill, test driven, standards based approach to education will not lead to the creative generation that our future depends on. Time to think different, break the mold, think out of the box.
