Digital Storytelling to Enhance Writing and Engage Your Elementary Students

Digital storytelling involves combining multimedia such as images and audio with stories to engage elementary students. It brings curriculum to life and helps students make sense of information. The process of developing and publishing digital stories teaches students important skills and allows them to become heroes of their own learning. An effective digital story follows elements like point of view, dramatic question, and emotional content. Teachers can use apps and websites to help students create original stories and share them with others.
