Digital storytelling is a way that educators are using in the classroom for their students. Digital storytelling provides special tools to grasp students attention and offers many learning opportunities.

Educators are using digital storytelling as an anticipatory set or hook for the lessons they are teaching to enhance current lesson plans. Students are able to use the internet to research rich, deep content while analyzing and synthesizing a wide range of content on a specific topic.

There are many apps with step by step instruction on how to create a digital story. Students as young as five years old can enjoy turning images into stories, easily create videos, explain ideas, and document their learning.

To get students started, educators will help students select an app to being building their digital story. The educator will help the student select a topic which they will research. Then they will share what they have learned in their digital story in their own words.

The End!
