Digital Storytelling is a great way for students to showcase their knowledge on a particular subject and show their creativity and technology skills. I think digital storytelling is one of the best ways to get our digital native students engaged in learning. Students are most likely already using the tools to create these digital stories at home already. Digital stories can be created for all subjects and the best part is that they can be uploaded for others to view all over the world.
I thought it would be difficult to create a digital story for mathematics, but having our students find mathematical concepts and vocabulary words in real life will help them to understand abstract concepts. Mathematics is not a subject where students can always show their creative sides. The integration of digital media into the mathematics classroom allows students to have a personal relationship with the material and have ownership in their learning. It also allows the students with a math phobia to become more comfortable with math, by interacting with the material.
