Journal 3

Digital storytelling can help 'revolutionize' the narrative experience because it helps people have some record of a memory.  Also, it allows people to show off their creative side when creating the story that they want to tell.  The "Digital Story Cookbook" says, "Stories are the large and small instruments of meaning and explanation that we store in our memories".  This is the definition that Roger Schank gives in the Cookbook.  There are different ways to tell a story, but digital storytelling is the one that is used with modern day technology.

Digital storytelling allows people to have a chance to be able to tell their story in a different way.  They can use different techniques, such as the music and the images being used, to convey their story.  The seven steps that the cookbook talks about are useful in order to create a good story.  Each of the seven steps is important for the digital story because each step helps to strengthen the story.  They also provide some guideline to the story because for some people it is harder to come up with a story to tell.
