digital

Digital stories help in the academic field because in this day and age I feel like more people are visual learners. Although when you read a book you can have the imagery of what your thinking while you read. With digital stories they catch your attention when they suddenly start playing. I feel like it is easier to fall asleep while a teacher reads in a mono tone voice rather than if your watching a boring movie. With visual learning you can actually see what the author is trying to get across or what some text book is trying to get across to you. Outside academics digital story telling can be amazing however you still might lose that feeling of imagining your own visual story. Although i am a big fan of movies which are digital stories. For example i didnt have to read all the Harry Potter books al i had to do was watch the movies to get a basic overview of the story.  On the downside though people always say the movies are not as good as the book, so your losing the factor of not knowing everything that someone who read the book might know.
