Digital Storytelling -Technology That Supports Creativity and Production
Digital storytelling is an interesting teaching tool that, like Comic Life, offers unlimited possibilities for the teachers and students. Ohler’s explanation of what teachers can do to implement digital storytelling provides an overview of the different ways it can be used. He emphasizes that teachers must first decide the product they are expecting the students to produce by “articulating project expectations” (p.9). He also points out that teachers should decide whether the project outcome should include the audience actively or passively viewing and participating (p.25). There are many applications for this tool. Teachers can have students use it to demonstrate comprehension skills, writing skills, and for project creation. It provides students the opportunity to utilize technology, learn new skills and develop their critical thinking skills.
