Digital movies and their uses in education

                Digital stories can be used to create movies. They always are narratives turned into multimedia material. Digital stories can contain picture, audio, music, and text. They always tell a story and present inspirational messages. There are seven elements: (1) point of view (main point of story); (2) a dramatic question (key question that engages the audience); (3) emotional content (issues in the story the audience can relate to);(4) the gift of your voice; (5) the power of the soundtrack (music that correctly expresses the story); (6) economy (use just enough content to let the audience know what is going on); and (7) pacing (rhythm of the story).

                Digital stories implement a world of opportunities for students. It combines content learning with 21^st century media. By using this form of media, it could help engage the students’ interests more effectively and increase comprehension of content. This approach utilizes technology as a means for students to show and understand what they have just learned. Digital stories may also be used as a great review for students. Students tend to be more detailed with assignments that had a digital story as an aide.
