__How Teachers Use This In Education:__ Teachers can be flexible with their assignments and have their students create a story by using digital stories. Instead of having students write and read, teachers can have their students perform these takes in more fun, creative ways. A teacher can give his/her class an assignment where they have to re-tell a story. By creating a digital story, the students can explain by using words, pictures, graphics, and more in their own individual way. This is just one idea that teachers can use as an assignment for their class. Teachers can come up with a whole list of assignments where digital stories can be incorporated. ======

__How Students Use This In Education:__ ====== As students go from grade to grade, they learn how to read and how to create stories.
