Students today live in a multimedia world and appreciate variety in their learning environment. Some forms of literacy they can develop include textual, numerical, visual, audio and multimedia. Visual Literacy can be defined as the ability to understand and produce visual messages. Both teachers and students can benefit by developing their abilities to create, use and evaluate visual resources.
There is a recognized process for developing digital stories, as developed by the Center for Digital Storytelling and practiced around the world (Stephenson, 2006).
1. Script development: write the story, often with a group called a story circle to provide feedback and story development ideas
2. Record the author reading the story (audio recording and editing)
3. Capture and process the images to further illustrate the story (image scanning and editing)
4. Combine audio and images (and any additional video) onto a timeline, add music track (video editing)
5. Present or publish finished version of story
