Digital storytelling brings the ancient tradition of oral storytelling and new technologies together in a powerful, interdisciplinary learning process. Digital storytelling enables students and teachers to tell their own stories, weaving together video, photos, art, music, narration, print, and sound effects using simple multimedia publishing tools.
Digital storytelling has broad application across all three Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) strands, inspiring deep, relevant, interactive learning for all ages. The process of making a digital story involves creative and critical thinking, inquiry, multimodal literacy, writing, discussion, design, production, reflection and presentation. It provides opportunities for students to enhance the expression of their own stories, thoughts and ideas in creative and engaging ways, across a diverse range of learning contexts.
