Digital storytelling is active and applied learning. It has a process and a product. The timelines are up for debate, but there has to be an ending. The characters in the digital storytelling process tend to evolve as the story develops. The person with the skills in moviemaking or audio recording suddenly becomes the star attraction. The quiet, reserved characters can sometimes become the heroes when they support others in the heat of production.
As the students in this course develop their story maps, storyboards and gather their story images, collect sound files, think about transitions and text, all in the effort to craft their digital stories, they may not see the end, but it's coming. This week, while some rest, relax and play, others will continue to work toward the conclusion of their story-telling project. Even in those moments of rest and refreshment, the story will evolve. These stories, and the experience creating them, will leave a lasting memory for those who create them.
