Teaching students the digital technology process prepares students for college and the 21st century workplace. Digital technology helps to differentiate the classroom learning experience for students and "has allowed kids to communicate complex ideas through a variety of modalities." Students are provided with an intensive digital learning curriculum that helps them to relay information to the public and assists them with positive self esteem. Additionally, many schools are allowing students to complete the digital technology courses as college credit which will further prepare them for secondary learning.
Digital stories can be instructional, persuasive, historical, or reflective. Digital storytelling will assist students in the workforce by allowing them to have familiarity with technology and serving as a bridge between school and work.
