In researching our discussion paper on digital storytelling, i came across the book Digital storytelling in the classroom: New Media pathways to literacy learning and creativity, by Jason Ohler. I found this book really helpful, easy to read and informative on the topic and new n media in general. He lays it out in language an ‘immigrant’  such as myself can grasp, he gets into why digital storytelling works and supports the teaching of literacy in the classroom, which i think is the really important aspect of it, that it is not a replacement to conventional teaching methods but another tool at hand.

I also probably like it because its a book, and I’m still a sucker for the printed page!
