At every turn, it seems that technology permeates our lives, challenging long-standing social traditions at every turn. Bernajean Porter has created a text and guide to successfully meld technology with the time-honored cultural tradition of story-telling. The text is clearly written and process steps are clearly described for a marriage of technology with this ancient art that both teaches timeless truths and builds competency in technology as a tool to enhance our lives. Digital story-telling is the long-awaited salve for our times - a way to capture truths that are critical to our progress as a culture and to bring generations together with technology's tools. Every family and community should have this book and Ms. Porter's work as their guide.

This book provides great ideas in an easy to follow format to implement digital storytelling. Love the many valuable resources included in the final chapters!

Bernajean Porter sets the bar for thinking and developing storytelling in multimedia formats. Our district (Forsyth County Schools has adopted Digitales: The Art of Telling Digital Stories as our professional development guide for digital storytelling. We have raised the quality of student thinking and student products through the processes described in this book.

We have purchased numerous copies of this book to use with teachers for the process of teaching digital storytelling. Our staff and the teachers find it very helpful and love it!
