Elements of Digital Storytelling

I think that the 2 elements of storytelling that would be best applied in my classroom are economy and pacing. Economy because my kids are in third grade. Their attention span is far beyond that of a kindergartner, but they still need things to keep their interest. I would also stick to only the bare minimum and most important points so that they are not overwhelmed with too much information.

I would also have to consider pacing. Too fast, and they will get lost; too slow and they will be bored. If I combine both of these elements, I could produce a successful digital story for my class.
