Developing digital stories encourages students to engage in both old and new literacies and through the process
of creating a movie they construct, examine, and manifest other literacies (Sylvester & Greenidge, 2010:287).
Hull and Nelson (in Warschauer, 2009:124) further suggest that combining images and texts transcends rather
than combines what is possible in each particular mode. Warschauer (2009:125) affirmed that digital story
tellers find a deeper meaning of what they want to say through the process of combining modes.
