Using digital storytelling in the classroom

I have been thinking about having students create digital stories. The optimum age to do this would have to be high school. Just the technology alone is daunting to most teachers. At least in the high school setting once you taught how to use the equipment the students could then use it independently (hopefully).

In the elementary setting if an LMS or technology person were to assist than I could see it as possible. Maybe even creating one story together as a class would be do-able. What I have witnessed of teachers and technology is not overly promising. Teachers find it very frustrating to use if you are not famaliar with it and technology needs a great amount of patience. When you have a classroom of 22 kids all asking how to get on and becoming bored because there is a glitch there can and will be problems. Definitely 2 or more people are needed to do this in the elementary setting.
