Number the Stars, by Brandi, an elementary teacher in Seminole County Schools, FL represents a dynamic example of using digital storytelling as a mode of communication for book talks making her topic come alive to “sell” reading it to future readers. Brandi’s use of ambient sounds creates an uncanny realism of the times. This docudrama (a personal digital storytelling acting as if the author actually lived in the times) was coached by 2005 DigiTales Camp graduates, Diane Lewis and Kathy Rhodus. Brandi’s storytelling was one of many created at their Beyond Words: Communicating through Digital Storytelling district training to develop teacher skills in multi-media communication.
