Digital Storytelling

I can see a use for digital storytelling in the classroom, even in mathematics.  I could use to share biographies of mathematicians.  The digital stories could also express how theorems and formulas are derived.  Showing students video, audio, and photographical representations of events could help students to visualize and understand how mathematicians come up with their discoveries.  I would also use digital stories to showcase how conic sections are able to be seen in the real world.  Many students are unaware of the mathematics around them.  Presenting the images through a digital story will allow me to engage the students in a way that I might not have been able to  when presenting examples on the overhead.
