Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling involves telling a story using a variety of multimedia. There are different types of digital storytelling, including vlogs and drawing stories. Digital storytelling can be used as a learning tool for students.

Having students create their own digital story can “. . . generate interest, attention, and motivation for the ‘digital generation’ students in today's classrooms” (Robin). Creating digital stories can also help students improve different literacy skills. These skills include writing skills, problem solving skills, and presentation skills.
