The advantages are the female speaker claims that the ability to tell a story through a podcast makes an "exponential" difference e that through a podcast you can reach a much wider audience.
One important thing to know is that digital tools improve digital literacy, as users have to know how to use the verbal and visual aids to put their stories together. This obviously helps users improve their communications skills, and allows them to become more comfortable with a whole range of digital tools, which are becoming more important through time. Furthermore, users learn how to use the web for their stories, editing software, as well as greatly improving their task and project management skills. Digital storytelling allows kids to explore and explain their individual stories in their own way, using many different skills to put a great story together.
The most obvious disadvantages associated with digital storytelling seem to be that it takes a lot of time to prepare. Obviously it will take up a lot of time for both parties involved (Student and teacher), but there are ways to counter this as well, by getting the students to better use their time outside of class in getting everything ready.
To be honest, I only understood digital storytelling after listening to the podcast. I guess it is a chance for me to improve my skills regarding basic editing on moviemaking software, and that by the end of this project, I will be more comfortable using the software.
