After reading some articles about digital storytelling, I found
that digital storytelling is a very useful tool for my future teaching. Then I
will introduce the useful tool to you.
According
to
7 things you should know about storytelling ,
digital storytelling is the practice of combination narrative with digital
content, including images, sound and video to create a short movie, typically
with a strong emotional component. Sophisticated digital stories can be
interactive movies that include highly produced audio and visual effects, but a
set of slides with corresponding narration or music constitutes a basic digital
stories can be instructional, persuasive historical and reflective.
Usually
story telling are applies like this. Students have to choose their own topic
and then they have to write a script about the topic. Next, small group are
formed. In small groups , students can do the story circle. During the process,
students would learn how to respect other’s advice and how to give suggestions.
According
to
The educational uses of storytelling , Digital storytelling can be used as
an instructional tool for teachers and also a learning tool for students. For
teachers, digital storytelling can facilitate discussion about the topics in
classroom and make the abstract content more understandable. For students, they
can first choose a topic and then choose a particular point of view and tell
stories of their own. During the process of telling story, students can improve
their communication skills such as organizing ideas, ask questions and express
opinions. In addition, when the story telling is uploaded on the website,
students can give suggestions to each other can learn how to critique.
I think
digital storytelling is a very useful tool for language teaching.
