Creating a Digital Story (Step by Step)
In digital storytelling, computer-based tools, including images and sound, are used to augment a story telling or expository process. For example, instead of simply citing to the existence of a certain letter as you might in a traditional research paper, if you are able to obtain a copy of the letter, you can scan it and include the image of the letter itself while you verbally explain its significance as part of your digital story. Appropriate use of a soundtrack, as well as the tone of your own voice reading a carefully constructed narrative, can accentuate the points you are making and clarify meaning as well as adding an emotional element to how your audience experiences your final product.

Creating a digital story involves following many of the same steps that would be followed in writing a well-researched essay. Following these steps, however, requires paying attention to multiple elements that you do not need to consider in a traditional essay since your final product will include images and sound. With careful planning, these additional dimensions can complement and enhance your overall thesis.
