Documenting a story in digital format can be a very effective way to touch the lives of your audience. Digital storytelling has images, sound, and visual association that gives the otherwise written narrative an emotional dimension.

This summer, JD Lasica contributed an article on digital storytelling on SocialBrite, “Digital Storytelling: A tutorial in 10 easy steps,” that guides you through the process for creating a powerful digital story.

The tutorial is online on SocialBrite at http://www.socialbrite.org/2010/07/15/digital-storytelling-a-tutorial-in-10-easy-steps/
