Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling

Course summary

Porto, Portugal

6 days

Erasmus+ KA1

480€

“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.
