Digital storytelling engages students in active learning by incorporating writing and multimedia formats like videos, podcasts, and animations. It allows students who may not typically enjoy writing to express themselves through a more relatable medium. Teachers can use digital storytelling to make learning subjects like graphs more interesting, or have students work together to summarize chapters for tests using different digital formats like PowerPoint or videos.
