Digital Storytelling Samples

This week we had the opportunity to explore a variety of videos to better understand digital storytelling. The two YouTube videos we watched Digital Storytelling in the Classroom and Classroom Innovation with Digital Storytelling provided great detail of what digital storytelling is and how it can be used. In addition to the descriptive videos, we also chose from a large amount of digital storytelling samples. For example, one of the social studies videos I watched was about the Holocaust. The creater of this video combined pictures, music, and informational text to create a moving digital story.

Digital stories are positive ways for students to share what they have learned about in a creative way. This type of technological learning can be used for all core content area subjects. Even early elementary students can write their own stories and choose music and pictures to go along!
