Stories hold the key for unlocking the door towards powerful learning experiences. As a teacher, you’ll find that stories play a huge part in your students’ lives. They might be obsessing over their favorite books or TV shows, or their favorite Youtube personality. They’re looking for role models, a sense of community, and plainly enjoy stories in a variety of media.
This is a big opportunity to show them how they could become creators as well. Anyone who studied at least a little bit of Psychology knows that students retain information better when they make a connection between a concept and their personal stories.
Digital storytelling is no different. It can enable students to share their stories and teachers to make learning more personalized. Storytelling allows students to understand the meaning behind each assignment and nurtures their innate curiosity.
