Beverly posted a digital story on my forum about two brothers who both died on 9/11. It was narrated by their father, and definitely articulated the compelling nature of digital storytelling, and demonstrated how an emotional component can effect your ability to retain information in your long term memory.Although the context of the story was obviously not uplifting,it still brought home the relevance of emotion in relation to an students cognition, and how both negative and positive feelings add equally to a persons schemata.
