Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling
Course summary
Porto, Portugal
6-day Course
Erasmus+ KA1
“A Digital Storytelling is a way of organising information, conveying emotions, building community in a series of still images or short videos that are 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, the truth is that this technology, besides being a hallmark of contemporary life, is a powerful tool that challenges teachers and students to innovate in teaching learning practices.
This course intends to contribute to the understanding of this phenomenon and use its potential for developing a Digital Storytelling.
The course provides knowledge about this new pedagogical innovation, the advantages and disadvantages, but also with a very practical use of video tools to be implemented in classroom.

The course fee for our 2022 courses has been adjusted to meet the new KA1 grant budget (Erasmus+ Programme 2021-2027). Before, sending organisations received 70€/day/person for course fees. Now, the new KA1 grant provides 80€/day/person.
