The actual construction of creating stories relevant to personal experiences is something students at all levels can participate in developing and incorporate learning of new media at the same time. Joe Lambert (2007) author of __Digital Storytelling Cookbook__ describes this process as storytelling through multimedia. Students can develop stories about “someone important, events in their lives, places in their lives or even about themselves”. He states, “The process of learning is a rich field to mine for stories.” (p. 8) Being a leader in technology it is my duty to provide this environment of discovery and allow a medium suitable for presentation.
