DIGITAL STORYTELLING
Welcome!
You are about to embark on a great adventure of creating a digital story!
You are an author that has just been offered a job to create a story. You must take a classic fable or fairy tale and make it for a contemporary audience. You will be working in pairs so make sure you and your partner are both on board to recreate the same fable or fairy tale. The catch is that it is digital. There are no pages, no physical book, just a computer and an animation program. Your finished product will be shared with the world.
Please watch the video below to get a glimpse of what you will be creating.
