"Digital storytelling is the latest direction in the art of storytelling. Storytelling has been used throughout time by cultures around the world to impart knowledge and traditions. Through digital storytelling, stories can be told to a much larger audience and in many more diverse ways. Educators are only beginning to explore the use of digital storytelling in the classroom. Upon examination, it becomes apparent that that digital storytelling would further standards-based teaching in a variety of ways."
"Assessing digital stories, new media narrative
Much of this information comes from Chapter Four of Digital Storytelling in the Classroom: New Media Pathways to Literacy, Learning and Creativity."
" In order for teachers to evaluate student work they will need to use an evaluation instrument such as a rubric. A rubric is used to evaluate the quality of student work on a complex project, by using several categories. One good source is Rubistar, where you will find pre-made evaluation options as well as information on how to create your own evaluation resources. "
"First choose one of the following communication types and then customize your scoring guide by checking ONLY the traits and elements you want to use at this time.

"Rubrics for Digital Storytelling Class by Meg Ormiston"
Includes sample rubrics
"This paper will discuss the concepts of "Electronic Portfolios as Digital Stories of Deep Learning" and "Digital Storytelling as Reflective Portfolio" by linking two dynamic processes to promote deep learning: Portfolio Development and Digital Storytelling. A major challenge today with electronic portfolios is to maintain learner intrinisic motivation to willingly engage in the portfolio process. The use of multimedia tools is one strategy that involves and engages learners; another technology that is engaging young people today is the web log or "blogs" and "wikis." But first, lets look at the issues that are turning learners off about the current approach to electronic portfolios, at least in Teacher Education."
"Rubrics can be used in many ways. Once created, an established rubric can be used or slightly modified and applied to many activities. Reviewing, reconceptualizing, and revisiting the same concepts from different angles improves understanding of the lesson for students. Think of a writing rubric – good writing does not change with the project. Because the essentials remain constant, it is not necessary to create a completely new rubric for every activity."
"Now, of course, the naysayers are quick to say that you cannot measure creative thinking. This is silly: here is a rubric for doing so: Creative. We can and do measure anything: critical and creative thinking, wine quality, doctors, meals, athletic potential, etc. "
"Rubrics are often used as a scoring tool for subjective assessments. A good rubric can be used to assess a student's performance on papers, projects, essays, and in this case, digital stories. You can find a number of different sample digital storytelling rubrics by reviewing some of the suggestions below."
"It is not easy to assess the work of students on this type of project. They are being introduced to an entirely new concept (in some cases) and technology glitches make things more difficult for everyone involved. This rubric I have created may help you sort through what to look for. I would suggest that you present students with the rubric before the project begins so that they fully understand what will be assessed. Please feel free to modify this rubric as needed, or create your own by using any of the web-based rubric creators, such as Rubistar. "
"Assessment traits
With this in mind, consider the following possible assessment traits. References to Part I, II and III here refer to the book from which this was excerpted, Digital Storytelling in the Classroom: New Media Pathways to Literacy, Learning and Creativity. This lists covers many but by no means all of the areas of a digital story."
