Digital Storytelling

I was lured into an ebook on digital storytelling from Techlearning's website. I again was impressed with the ability to use video to tell a story. This ebook has listings of examples of videos as well as instructional guidelines for the creation and development of effective stories (after all it is 40+ half-pages!). We recognize that content still is "trump" (a metaphor from growing up playing Rook - a story that maybe I should tell...) but we now have multiple mediums to tell the story.

Do you know any teachers who are actively incorporating digital storytelling in their classrooms? What are your thoughts about digital storytelling (and I would include video, streaming video, podcasting, video podcasting ...)?
