Why digital?
If a story can be shared via traditional methods then why bother with a digital approach?
The key is to ensure that the digital strategy provides an avenue of expression and interaction not possible with the traditional approach.
Why digital?
The technology needs to make a difference
It allows students an alternative avenue of expression
Digital can afford students who find expression difficult whether it be due to motor or sensory factors an alternative outlet for their thoughts
