" Teach their students to create digital stories that employ effective principles of storytelling, technology application, and media technique.
" Use digital storytelling as a tool to promote the development of emerging literacies, such as digital and media literacy, as well as traditional literacies, such as reading, writing, speaking, and art.
" Help students use digital storytelling as an academic tool to explore content and to communicate what they understand.
" Understand the importance of combining the power of story and critical thinking as an approach to teaching and learning.
