Introduction
Welcome to our home page! This site includes information for both students and teachers on digital storytelling. Digital storytelling is where students create a short narrated video, usually comprising of pictures or photos. Digital storytelling helps children to tell stories using technology. It can instill the importance of storytelling and incorporate learning literacy, critical thinking skills, and prepare students to be creative in a digital world.

Students can find out what their digital storytelling task is by clicking on the student's information page. Teachers also have an information page which includes all the information needed to complete this task, resources and a timetable outlining the task. There is also a resource page where all the resources for digital storytelling are listed.



Task overview
Our authentic task is the creation of a digital storybook. The project is aimed at upper primary students, from year five to seven who are able to work independently. For younger students the assignment may be altered with teachers providing more structured guidance.

The project is designed to take place over a six week period, during this time students will be placed into groups and will be required to research digital storytelling, survey younger students and create their very own fictional digital story. At the end of the six week period students will be presenting their stories to a buddy class.Their parents will also be welcome to come along to watch them present their final products.
