7 Elements of Digital Storytelling

As you begin planning your story, you'll start by carefully developing an understanding of the seven elements of digital storytelling (http://www.storycenter.org).

These elements (links on the right) will become the building blocks you will use to plan and create your story. We''ll briefly describe each element and show samples of stories that were created by students and teachers from Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Palau, and Alaska. You can view these elements in whatever order you choose. Pressing the arrow will take you to the next element in the sequence.

If you'd like help in recording and organizing the information regarding each element, click on the Help button and scaffolding tools that we've created will be available for you to use.
