Course Summary
Digital Storytelling is a way of organizing information, conveying emotions, and building community, using a series of still images or short videos combined with a narrated soundtrack to tell a story (Bull & Kadjer, 2004).
Although mobile technology is not yet widely used in schools, and in some cases even prohibited by internal regulations, it is a hallmark of contemporary life and a powerful tool that challenges teachers and students to innovate in teaching and learning practices.
