Digital Storytelling

I needed to perform a sort of "Inspiration" quest to digital storytelling and I found a video that emphasizes the importance of storytelling. Then I found a video similar to the one we will be making that elevates traditional storytelling to digital. It can be so simple and meaningful to students. I am brought back to the idea of making all work be original to the author. It is difficult to pass work off as your own that isn't. It is easier yet more challenging to be original.

Are we contributers to the digital community or just takers?
