Why teach DST?
Digital Storytelling, taught within a constructivist learning environment supports 21st Century learning for our digital students. Most of the examples created by our GSU professors and classroom teachers in Illinois are in the format of "digital historical narratives", using primary sources from the LOC. The following resources support the importance of digital storytelling for higher order thinking skills.
