I think that both have their good and bad. Digital storytelling is good because you can put side effects, music, pictures, and practically anything that helps tell the story. But, sometimes the storyteller isn't very good. They usually have a monotone voice, and that really ruins the story and it's moral. Normal storytelling is very imaginative, it lets you use your imagination instead of getting the wrong picture. And, usually, the storyteller has a voice that speaks volumes, so you can get the story better. But, like I said, sometimes the storyteller has a monotone voice and it ruins it. I think both have their good and bad, and both are equally great and helpful.

My Review for Two Digital Stories

(1) Binsol's Digital Story:
Okay, this story was a little wierd. I'm pretty sure the guy was talking about his escape from the real world. What I didn't like about the video was the fact that the guy's words were so poetic and his voice was so monotone. It sounded like he was so bored to death. But other than that, it was pretty much O-K!!

(2) Matt's Digital Story:
This story was pretty good. It taught me a lot about Oakland and how violent it is. He also taught me that it's not the best place to go for a vacation. It's sad that Oakland has so much violence, drug abuse, and teenagers that have no life. I hope someone, one day, can solve that problem so teenagers like Matt's friend won't get killed for no reason. And to have a better community for the next generation.
