Digital Storytelling

My Video!

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.
