What is Digital Storytelling?

I am presenting “Teaching History in the Digital Era”  Friday December 2, at 2 p.m. at the National Social Studies Conference held in Washington D.C. The presentation is designed to help teachers bring the past to life by incorporating multimedia resources into their teaching. Participants will learn new Digital technologies to make history come alive. 

The ancient tradition of storytelling meets the digital age. When students create a movie or interactive slideshow to tell their story, learning becomes personal. By incorporating digital storytelling projects into learning, you can reach today’s students and, at the same time, help them to develop the skills they need to be successful in the 21st century.

 

Digital storytelling learning projects may not be a cure-all for reluctant learners, bored students, or students who have trouble retaining information, but the digital storytelling experience in the classroom confirms this approach is exciting and a compelling way to engage students in the learning process and to inspire them to become lifelong learners.
