What is digital storytelling?



 Digital storytelling is a combination of the art of the storytelling, with digital media, such as: pictures, sounds and videos. 
A digital story can have many forms but always from the perspective of a narrator. 
It is a combination of digital images, a voice-over that tells the story and music.
