Digital storytelling is a wonderful tool that can be used in
the classroom for whichever subject. A good way of using digital storytelling
is teaching ESL vocabulary. An example of this is using the word “moon” in English
and showing it in Spanish, “luna”. Also a visual picture will be attached to
make the connection of the word and image. Another way digital storytelling can
be used is by having students create a review of a novel they are reading in literature
circles. They would have to record themselves giving the review of the book
after reading it. In Math, digital storytelling can be used to show geometry
and tessellations in nature. Students could make a movie of the nature scenes
and creating an audio that describes the type of shapes in the movie. An
example of this is a tessellation of a honey comb, students could say, “Honey
comb has the geometric shape of hexagon”. These are just a few examples but there are endless possibilities.
