Digital Storytelling can refer to a variety of techniques. The term is most often used for a combination of voice-over narration with predominantly still images to create an electronic presentation. Much of the work that is being done in this form uses Apple Computer's iMovie software; Microsoft's PowerPoint, Apple's Keynote, HyperStudio, and many other software programs can be adapted to achieve similar results.
