Digital Storytelling vs. Digital
Spectacle
True digital storytelling is grounded in the development
of personal stories through narrative, and focuses on
developing fundamental skills such as:
• Writing
• Accessing, evaluating and synthesizing media
• Project management
• Technical and computer use
• Understanding how to use intellectual property in an
ethical and socially acceptable manner
