Research on the Impact of Digital Storytelling
Educators who ARE Using DS:• How are you using Digital Storytelling?
• Are you creating digital stories to show to your students?
• Are you teaching your students to create their own digital stories?
• If students are using Digital Storytelling, what are the outcomes? Have you demonstrated Digital Storytelling to others? If so, to other teachers? Who else?
• Do you feel that Digital Storytelling has changed your teaching practice?
![Page 14: The Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling Bernard Robin College of Education University of Houston.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103112/551aba68550346b2288b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Research on the Impact of Digital Storytelling
Educators who ARE NOT Using DS:• Why are you not using Digital Storytelling? What are the
obstacles?• Do you have questions about how to use Digital Storytelling
in your instruction?• Are you experiencing technical problems? If so, what
problems are you having?• Are you interested in additional Digital Storytelling training
sessions?• Are there other issues that are preventing you from using
Digital Storytelling in your instruction?• Are you planning to use Digital Storytelling in the future?

More Research on Digital Storytelling
Helen Barrett's Research Design:• How do digital stories provide evidence of deep learning?• Under what conditions can digital stories be used to support
assessment for learning?• Under what conditions do students take ownership of their
digital stories?• What are the benefits of developing digital stories as perceived
by students, teachers, administrators, and/or parents?• What are perceived obstacles to implementing digital storytelling
with P-12 students and how can they be overcome?• How does the quality of paper-based reflection differ from digital
stories?
