Assignment 7.2

I think that digital storytelling is a great resource to use in the classroom. It's super creative and a fun treat for the students. I think this would catch and keep a student's interest on some topics; I think this would especially be great used at the end of a unit to kind of wrap-up the lesson or unit. I don't think it could be used frequently but, I think when it is used it will deliver the message from the unit or lesson in a way that would be memorable to the students in an effective way that is fun for both the students and the teacher.
