This has had a profound impact on news media, democratising it and enabling access to a much wider range of narrative, but also enabling a vastly greater cross section of the global population to start publishing their stories and making their voices heard. Increasingly these stories are not just text-based but include images, video, audio and other interactive media that can be both more engaging and more inclusive than traditional paper-based narrative. The ability to create this kind of digital narrative is now becoming a key digital skill for both teachers and students, empowering them to participate in the global information exchange.

However, I am disheartened to hear so many people describe the flipped classroom as a model where teachers must record videos or podcasts for students to view at home.
