Research
Digital storytelling is one of the hottest topics in research today. Advances in technology tools have made creating digital stories easy enough for elementary students and the Internet has a wealth of visual media that can be incorporated. Materials to support storytelling instruction abound on the Internet; two resources are a book from the //Center for Digital Storytelling// (Lambert, 2007, at []) and a well-designed website sponsored by the University of Houston ([]). Researchers have found that the use of multimodal (multimedia) texts as reading materials increases students’ achievement and motivation. Imagine the additional boost to their writing and speaking when they create the multimedia texts (Robin, 2006). Students involved in digital storytelling engage in all levels of higher order thinking skills (Figg, McCartney, & Gonsoulin, 2009). Digital storytelling is good for differentiating instruction (Figg et al., 2009), supporting struggling writers (Sylvester & Greenidge, 2009), giving ELL students a voice (Skinner & Hagood, 2008), and meeting the needs of students who have disabilities or are learning a second language (Slouge, Rao, & Boisvert, 2007). **References** Figg, C., McCartney, R.
