The goal of the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website is to serve as a resource for teachers and students who are interested in how multimedia can be integrated into a variety of educational activities. The site was originally begun in 2004 by faculty members and graduate students in the Instructional Technology Program at the University of Houston College of Education. It continues to be revised with new content added as more students and faculty members become involved in the digital storytelling process.

Many of the digital stories contained on this site include still images, audio files and video clips that were found using commonly available Internet search engines, websites such as YouTube and Google Video, as well as from commercial VHS tapes and DVDs. One of the main purposes of these digital media projects is to model for educators how they can utilize the power of accessible multimedia to engage students in today's K-12 and higher education classrooms.

Permission is granted to all educators and students who wish to use any material on the site including text, images, digital stories and other resources, for personal, educational, and/or non-commercial purposes. Please note that if material is used, appropriate citation to this site is required, such as the one shown below:
