Digital Storytelling - Possibilities?

I went to a conference on digital storytelling recently, and this video was suggested as a possible writing prompt for students. I think this would work in well with a narrative unit at the beginning of the year tied in with Sherman Alexie and Tim O'Brien selections.

Digital Writing Workshop

I had a great time at this conference today. I was introduced to an online writing site called youthvoices.net. My mind is running with all the possibilities. I tried something similar to this earlier this year, but it fizzled out. This site looks to be much more user friendly, and it has a lot more student writers on it.

The opportunities for peer review and peer editing with this format are amazing--I can't wait to give it a try!
