Stories Matter: Sharing Our Voices with Digital Storytelling
Yearta, Lindsay; Helf, Shawnna; Harris, Lisa
Texas Journal of Literacy Education, v6 n1 p14-22 Sum 2018
Our students' voices matter; their stories are important. Digital tools can help students craft and publish their stories for wide, varied, authentic audiences. As little as a decade ago, it was difficult and expensive to publish digital stories. Given the myriad of apps and tools now available, teachers in elementary, middle, and high school settings can select the tools that will work best for their students. Digital storytelling can empower students and teachers to share their voices, participate in the ongoing, collective conversation, and learn from one another as they listen to and engage with others.
