Digital storytelling creates greater access for students to narrate lived and fictionalized events and experiences.
Students can combine multiple media forms — including text, photos, drawings, animations, audio, and video — to create evocative, informative works of art.
When teachers assign digital storytelling projects, they position students as experts with the freedom and autonomy to make artistic decisions regarding plot, character development, and point-of-view. Students can also collaborate to co-create digital stories, mimicking real-world ways of thinking in the so-called ‘real world.’
