As an assignment in our EDUC 2201 class we were asked to create a digital story that explained a quote about teaching. Creating a digital story was a very fun and enlightening experience. Expressing myself through digital story made me relate how this type of media could be used to solve authentic problems. We want students to not only learn with media, but also learn and think critically about media. (Ohler, 2006) There are a lot of ways this digital tool can be used to explore real world issues.
Abstract: The purpose of this research study was to determine how educators, students
and others around the world are using digital storytelling to support the educational
process. This study provides a general framework about educational uses of digital
storytelling in different countries and describes the different perceptions of people in
different cultures about this technology. An online survey was used to collect responses
from a group of educators, students and others in educational settings to determine how
they are using digital storytelling for educational purposes. The results show the current
situation of educational uses of digital storytelling around the world and explore some of
the benefits and challenges educators face in implementing digital storytelling in their
institutions. (Yuksel, Bernard & McNeil)
