A digital story is a movie or video that tells a story about information you have recieved or researched. It is a great way to teach and learn about many subjects in the world and also helps people to be creative about their work. It challenges them to get information across to other in a unique way so it sticks or the remember what they saw.
Iste nets - t ( website link on my page)is a standard to help bring technology into the classrooms. It helps teacher find creative ways to teach students how to use technology in everyday life but also in a professional manner. I believe they might helo students in their creative thinking so much that they will expand the thought of technology into a whole different meaning.
A Lesson plan i would do is have students create a video of a special day in the mathematics field, such as pie day. It would give them the opportunity to memorize the value of pie and also to learn the importance and history of pie.

Using a digital story is a good way for students to teach other students too. Using them to memorize a mathematical theory is a great idea.
