__**Digital Storytelling and the Saskatchewan Curriculum (Evergreen)**__
Digital storytelling can fit into the Saskatchewan Curriculum in several different ways. It is can be used in Language Arts, and Arts Education as the primary focus. However, it can also be integrated into several other subjects, such as Science, Social Studies, and Health. A student can create a Science, or Health video related to a topic that is being taught in class.

The Creative/Productive Component
This component includes the exploration, development, and expression of ideas in the language of each strand or art form. In order for an activity to be creative, the student must be engaged actively in a critical thinking process. The student learns where ideas come from, and how ideas can be developed and transformed. Reflection, both ongoing and summative, is an essential part of the creative process, and allows students to evaluate their own growth in their creative endeavours.
