//How can participants use digital media for instructional support?//
Digital Media is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. Participants will use various delivery systems for their digital media to push content to their students. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. Digital media usually contains some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music.
