Digital Storytelling in the Foreign Language Classroom
by Hayo Reinders
Middlesex University (London, UK)
“Digital storytelling is a compelling activity for the language classroom. Easy to use for both writing and speaking practice, digital storytelling can be a good way to motivate students to use the language both inside and outside the classroom. Many teachers report high motivation levels, and not only for their students”
This article does a good job of explaining the What and Why of Digital Storytelling in Language classrooms. The How to Start and Limitations portions are less relevant as we have several levels of support here @ Colgate. Please contact CEL (itss-cel@colgate.edu) or Sarah Kunze (skunze@colgate.edu) if you are interested in using this technology in your courses.
