As we talk more about digital storytelling, the whole process makes more sense to me. The activity we completed in class really helped me to understand that a digital story is more then just digital pictures; it tells a story, rather than simply displaying pictures.
I liked Amanda’s idea of documenting the process of an activity that the children do, and creating a digital story from that.
I continue to struggle to fit everything that I want to do with the children, as we are currently focusing on letters, (Handwriting Without Tears), social skills, and name writing. However, I am going to be thinking about the upcoming activities and how I can incorporate a digital story.

If money were no object, you could perhaps teach handwriting using a whiteboard projector like SmartBoard or Mimio. You can buy a writing tablet where students can "write" on it with the special pen and it shows up on the screen. Just a neat idea to integrate :).
Keep thinking about the possibilities - especially with younger children the aspect of telling stories and visualizing those stories are central to their literacy development.
