Digital storytelling is an ancient art of storytelling adapted to modern digital formats. It can be used in education to introduce new concepts, explain complex ideas, and summarize units. Digital stories take various forms like podcasts, videos, animations and slide shows. They promote creativity, individuality and engagement in the classroom. Benefits include personalizing learning, generating compelling explanations of topics, and improving student involvement. Potential downsides are that creating coherent narratives can be challenging, students may rely on replicating models rather than being original, and technological support may be required.
