  2. What is digital storytelling? It is a new twist to storytelling, using the ways of expression of the digital era. With the use of computer generated text and multimedia context you and your students can create a digital story blending text, music, images, sounds and audio narration. It must be short (8-10 minutes) in nature due to storage capacities limitations.

  3. In what context should we use digital storytelling? Digital storytelling is not only for the language arts classroom. It can be used in all subjects. However applying digital storytelling depends on the curriculum goals, the grade level, the content, the timing, the resources available, the administrative support, etc. So you should consider this before using digital storytelling.

  4. What are the Benefits? Storytelling helps students organize their thoughts, see patterns, and find solutions. Telling stories is about reasons for actions, not just actions themselves. Making it digital adds other dimensions which engage visual and auditory learners. It is an active learning process which makes personal connections, engages cultural assets, and includes diverse students.
