What is digital storytelling?

Digital storytelling is a simple, honest and powerful way for people to share stories. A digital story is an audio recording of a personal story, accompanied by pictures, created using digital tools. The unique appeal of digital storytelling is that it puts people in complete control of how their story is told: all stories are scripted and edited solely by their creators. It's a person's story told the way they want to tell it.
