Digital Storytelling: A Powerful Technology Tool for the 21st Century Classroom
Robin, Bernard R.
Theory Into Practice, v47 n3 p220-228 Jul 2008
Digital storytelling has emerged over the last few years as a powerful teaching and learning tool that engages both teachers and their students. However, until recently, little attention has been paid to a theoretical framework that could be employed to increase the effectiveness of technology as a tool in a classroom environment. A discussion of the history of digital storytelling and how it is being used educationally is presented in this article. The theoretical framework, technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK), is described, along with a discussion of how this model might be used with digital storytelling. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
