Robin  \n[brobin@uh.edu](brobin@uh.edu)  \nUniversity of Houston, USA  \nAbstract  \nAlthough the term“digital storytelling” may not be familiar to all readers, over the last twenty years, an increasing number of educators, students and others around the world have created short movies by combining computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and music in order to present information on various topics . For more than twelve years, faculty members and graduate students in the Learning, Design and Technology Program at the University of Houston College of Education have been exploring the use of digital storytelling to support both teaching and learning. In 2004, the author established the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website ( [http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu](http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu)) to serve as a helpful resource for those interested in learning how digital storytelling could be integrated into a variety of educational activities . This paper presents an overview of how digital storytelling has and continues to be used to support teaching and learning activities . In addition, recommendations and guidelines arepresented for educators who would like to teach students to use digital storytelling as an educational endeavor .  \nKeywords  \nDigital Storytelling, Educational Technology, Teaching, Learning, Multimedia  \nB. R. Robin 17 Digital Education Review-Number 30, December 2016-[http://greav.ub.edu/der/](http://greav.ub.edu/der/)  \nI. Introduction  \nThis paper deals with the educational uses of digital storytelling and presents an overview of how digital storytelling has and continues to be used to support teaching and learning. The first section begins with a definition of what digital storytelling is and how it differs from other types of videos found online . The next section focuses on how digital storytelling is being used to support teaching and learning in education, as well as in other areas such as museums, community organizations and healthcare institutions . Next, guidelines are presented that novice digital storytellers can follow if they wish to use this technology practice . The paper concludes with a description of additional resources that are available for those who want to learn more about digital storytelling.  \nWhat Is Digital Storytelling?  \nDigital storytelling combines the art of telling stories with a mixture of digital media, including text, pictures, recorded audio narration, music and video . These multimedia elements are blended together using computer software, to tell a story that usually revolves around a specific theme or topic and often contains a particular point of view . Most digital stories are relatively, short with a length of between 2 and 10 minutes, and are saved in a digital format that can be viewed on a computer or other device capable of playing video files . In addition, digital stories are typically uploaded to the interent where they may be viewed through any popular web browser . There are many different types of digital stories, but the author has proposed classifying the major types into the following three categories: 1) personal narratives - stories that contain accounts of significant incidents in one’s life; 2) historical documentaries – stories that examine dramatic events that help us understand the past, and 3) stories that inform or instruct the viewer on a particular concept or practice (ROBIN, 2006) .  \nDigital storytelling has steadily grown in popularity and is currently being practiced in a myriad of locations, including schools, libraries, community centers, museums, medical and nursing schools, businesses and more . In educational settings, teachers and students from kindergarten through graduate school are creating digital stories on every topic imaginable, from art to zoology, and numerous content areas in between .
