Wikipedia describes digital storytelling as using new digital tools to help ordinary people to tell their own stories (real or fictional). From a teaching point of view, the use of digital recording and the ease of sharing could open many new avenues in the classroom.
On the website Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling (http://www.coe.uh.edu/digital-storytelling/introduction.htm) the author describes digital storytelling as a "fantastic way to engage students, teachers and just about anyone else... most digital storytelling revolves around the idea of combining the longstanding art of telling stories with any variety of available multimedia tools..."
The article goes on to further describe the "Seven Elements for Digital Storytelling"
1. Point of view
2. A dramatic question
3. Emotional content
4. The gift of your voice
5. The power of the soundtrack
6. Economy
7. Pacing
A great start for developing your own digital story.
