What is it? Digital storytelling is an activity, project, or assignment that teachers allow students to do so that they are able to showcase their work through digital storyboards. Children are able to use a variety of different of applications to create these digital masterpieces. What applications are good for digital storytelling? There are applications such as My Story, Tellegami, Toontastic, Sock Puppets, Book Creator, and many more! Students use these apps to create things using photos, videos, drawings, voice recordings, and a variety of other things to tell a story. For example, students may use Toontastic to create an animated story that they have written. Also, a student may choose to make a My Story while he or she walks us through the steps taken on a science project. The possibilities are endless! Why choose digital storytelling? Students are able to display their work in a way that is comfortable for them. Students that are timid and shy become to enjoy presenting things to their class and teachers. Also, parents and teachers enjoy seeing what the students have learned about a particular subject. There are so many reasons to incorporate digital storytelling into your classroom!
Below, I have attached one of my beginning creations that I have made with the Sock Puppet digital storytelling application!
