     Digital storytelling has many benefits, many of which my students experienced while completing their digital stories.  They include:

  • encourages collaborative learning- students problem solve and bounce ideas off each other
  • allows students to learn and present in their individual learning style
  • motivating to students because it relates to their personal experiences or interests
  • enhances writing by requiring students to consider a wider audience, not just their teacher
  • allows students to share work with a large audience that can reach outside the classroom
  • provides a non threating way for students to read their writing aloud
  • practical and meaningful way to learn new technology
  • increases "digital literacy"
