I found the the article "The World of Digital Storytelling" by Jason Ohler quite instructive. For example, Ohler made the point that the digital technology is so powerful that for some, the more technology used, the weaker the story becomes. He then suggested practical steps to help prevent this problem.
Moreover, the article "The Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling" was very enlightening. Among the many important points that were raised, Robin discussed the notion about teaching students to become producers and not just consumers. I think as educators this is one of the things that we should consider when preparing youngsters to contribute in today's society. Are we preparing them to be producers or just consumers?
