Vocabulary Digital Storytelling in
Content Area Classrooms

Dr. Susan J. Wegmann,
Chair, Teacher Education Division,
Director of Institutional Research
The Baptist College of Florida

Vocabulary Digital Storytelling
• Using robust vocabulary instruction
(Beck, McKeown, & Kucan, 2013) to couch content
area vocabulary terms within a story in order to
create natural transfer to familiar concepts.
• Creating narrative or nonfiction projects to highlight
content area words as tools (Nagy &
Townsend, 2013).
• Linking content area vocabulary terms in new ways
(Schleppegrell, 2013), to support learning.
• Bloom’s Digital taxonomy suggests that “Creation”
is at the apex of thinking.

understanding.
