digital storytelling: technology integration in the classroom

Technology Integration in the Classroom

Digital Storytelling

Digital Storytelling means using digital

media such as pictures, video, audio, and

presentation slides to give a lesson, provide information, or tell any

kind of story.

Anyone can learn to use digital media to help them create their digital story. PowerPoint, Slideshare, Windows MovieMaker, YouTube video editor,

Audacity, and Prezi are just some of the tools that are

available.

Teachers can keep their students motivated by using creative digital storytelling to present

lessons in a more interesting way in which their digital generation

students can relate.

When students, either individually or in groups, use digital storytelling to

show what they have learned after an

assignment, they also develop their digital skills

while presenting their knowledge to the class in

an entertaining way.

Watch the Edutopia video, “An Introduction to Technology Integration”, to see some examples of

how technology in the classroom can engage
