What is Digital Story Telling?

Digital Storytelling in the Classroom:

Digital Storytelling in the classroom is about using technology to tell a story. It is similar to traditional storytelling, but in this case, we use computers to complement and add to the storytelling experience by using a variety of tools and aids. It allows the author, students/teachers in this case, to be creative and use a variety of media including images, audio and video.

Digital storytelling can be used to reinforce subject matter, to share an experience or present some new information in a creative and interesting way. It can be used as homework, classroom group projects, or a holiday project for students.

Digital Storytelling Assignments:

It is best to ask students for something small and manageable. It is advised that teachers ask ask students to create a video that is 30 seconds short. Projects could be video reports on a movie that they have watched recently or even to make a video about their own lives.
