The LMS and library media program standards were written to reflect the 21st century learner. The most current documents, "Standards for the 21st-Century Learner" and "Standards for the 21st-Century Learner in Action", have embraced the 21st century learner jargon, despite how vaguely the terms are defined. The library standards, although written as action statements, are useless as a stand-alone document. These standards make sense when a collaborative effort is made to implement them along with content standards from classroom teachers. Digital storytelling can be a conduit to getting even the most resistant teacher to collaborate. By being an instructional partner in activities that include digital storytelling, the librarian has the opportunity to also introduce a wide variety of topics and standards. Additionally, the ethical use of resources can be discussed, particularly images, music selections, and videos. Copyright and fair use can be complicated topics that students may not understand, or worse, decide they are not relevant to them. But teaching about the resources selected for a digital storytelling project in the context of copyright and fair use allows for appropriate modeling of ethical and legal principles. Students will have a more personal experience, which means the otherwise dry topics will suddenly be relevant and meaningful to them. This article provides some user friendly digital storytelling resources that anyone can use. Some of them are online applications while others are stand-alone computer applications.
