DIGITAL STORYTELLING
By: Sara MartínezEME 5050
IN THE CLASSROOM100 years ago, students’ desks were nailed to the floor facing
the teacher.The teacher had a blackboard, books, and the spoken word to
engage students.No differentiated instruction.No different learning styles
acknowledged.
NOWADAYS…Through the years, not only has the material in classrooms changed, but the classrooms themselves have! Teachers have changed the way they teach to accommodate the change in the timesand the different styles of learning.
TODAY’S STUDENT These days, students are surrounded by Technology.
Teachers have to come up with creative ways to keep students interested and engaged.
DIGITAL STORYTELLING
Digital storytelling is telling a story using a combination of computer-based audio (like music or narration), videos, images, or text. One can tell the same story verbally, but digital storytelling has extra stimulating components to appeal to all of the senses.
USING DIGITAL STORYTELLING
AS A TEACHING AID
A teacher can tell “The Incy Wincy Spider” to students as an effective teaching tool…Or, that same teacher can tell the story digitally, like this:

USING DIGITAL STORYTELLING
AS AN ASSIGNMENT
Students can make their own digital storybooks, either independently, or in pairs or groups.
They may be worked on during class time and presented to the class when complete.
It engages our students, and presents them with the opportunity to complete an assignment that
they can be proud of their results.
A GREAT HOOK!Whether used as a teaching tool by the
instructor, or assigned as an activity for students to complete, digital storytelling is an engaging and effective way to tell a story!
It captures the audience’s attention, appeals to all types of learners, is great across all curriculum, and enhances comprehension.
