Digital storytelling allows students to create personal stories using multimedia tools like images, audio, and video on portable devices like iPads and iPods. It provides an authentic learning experience that engages higher-order thinking. Stories can easily be shared with a global audience. The document introduces the basic steps to digital storytelling using the app Strip Designer, which allows users to combine text, images, and other elements on multiple pages and export the story as a file to share. Resources for further information on digital storytelling are also provided.
