Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling is a great educational technology tool. The integration of this tool in our classroom instruction is completely necessary to deliver the education our 21st century learners’ demands. I have just created my first project using this technology and I really enjoy it. The digital storytelling empowers you to be creative and express yourself. With this educational tool students will be able to create a concrete project and express who they are using their native language, technology. Not only you are becoming an author of a story, you are a designer, and the editor of your work. One of the aspect that I enjoyed the most, was the liberty of personalizing my story with my own photos and been able to select the background music. If I had so much fun in the creation of this project, I cannot wait to see my students create and expand their imagination to accomplish things that are even more wonderful.
