Digital storytelling as responsible citizens

A new narrative of storytelling has been woven into our digital spaces in a variety of ways.  From memes to info-graphics to personal blogs and video channels, the mechanisms and tools we have are vast and ubiquitous.  But, what are the challenges we face as educators in supporting best practice with the appropriate use of content?  How do we model this process with teachers and students?
