Digital storytelling for ’digital natives’
‘Remember the times when we had only three television channels, cassette recorders, or cell phones that could only make phone calls…’
’Digital generation uses digital technology transparently, without thinking about it, marveling at it, or wondering about how it works’ (Jukes, McCain & Crockett, 2010).
Today’s children are used to capturing photos and videos during their free time, and thus, digital storytelling allows them to express content-area understanding familiar ways (Ohler, 2013.)
However, digital storytelling is not just about using technology for learning. Moreover, it is about story scripting, knowledge building, creativity, communication, and collaboration.
