Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling is a way to organize photos in a way that presents them as a story-line, or a short movie that tells a story. These can be made on iMovie, Animoto, PowerPoint, GoAnimate, and others.

Digital storytelling could make for a very good introduction for a lesson. Using a short movie, the students would be interested in how the lesson plays into the storyline. Rather than a plain, boring list of objectives for the lesson, this adds the attention-grabbing elements that students need.

This article tells how digital storytelling is beneficial to students. It mentions that videos can help students with a variety of learning styles by venturing out of the note-taking scheme.
