__***Reflection*: **__** Digital story telling was another completely unfamiliar concept to me but I love the idea of a teacher being able to create a personalized story on any topic or theme for his or her class to integrate into any lesson or unit. Digital stories can be used to present information on any specific topic and don't take a long time to create. Since they incorporate images, music and sounds, text, and the teacher's voice through recorded audio narration, digital stories are likely to be interesting, entertaining, and educational for students across a broad age range. A teacher no longer has to solely rely on the videos or DVDs that other have created, but can instead create his or her own short digital story telling video. Because these stories can be delivered through CDs and the web, students can watch them either at school or at home, which is a helpful tool for those who have been absent. Digital stories are a great way to integrate technology into the curriculum and I can see myself using digital stories in my classroom in a variety of core-subject lessons, as lesson hooks and introductions, to help make difficult content easier to understand, and to encourage classroom discussion. **
