• This chapter is a very useful, though basic, guide to the technical aspects of digital storytelling in a videographic environment.

Working in a small group, first review your assigned section of Media Grammar for Teachers and then watch the brief associated video.

[Note: the answer to that pressing question is: media, of course.]
