What do you like about the digital story?
I like the message that the digital story is sending across. Here is two students that should hate each other based on the current situation in the US (the twin tower attack) and based on the conflicts between the Islams and Muslims, but yet they are best friends. The beginning of this digital story opened with a play the two boys had participated in, and the meaning was discussed about liking another for who they are and now what they are. I think that was a great introduction to this digital story!


What did you learn from the digital story?
I learned that people have the strength to look past appearance and religion, it just takes the desire to discover who someone is and not judge a book by its cover.

How can digital storytelling promote critical media literacy? I encourage you to Google digital storytelling and critical media literacy to answer this question.
Digital story helps students and participants learn how to incorporate audio and visual elements to create a multimedia product. It allows the student to be more expressive in their presentations and find new and creative ways of getting their message across to the audience. It allows a change for students to combine their digital knowledge with personal experiences to create a meaningful message.
