“Digital Storytelling with Photo Story 3 does more than ‘make show-n-tell cool again’ (as Microsoft boasts) when it serves your learning objectives, appeals to diverse learning styles, creates a buzz in your department, makes student learning visible and provides an alternate way to teach and assess work.”
— Sophie Adamson, Assistant Professor of French, Elon University

Context

Digital technology has revolutionized the way we teach and learn, and, thankfully, one does not have to be a technological wizard to incorporate digital storytelling into the classroom. With emerging multimedia tools affordable and accessible to all, students are equipped to tell a story. I have incorporated digital projects into several of my classes both to meet my learning objectives and to reinforce the importance of student expression. While the majority of the assignments I present in this CATL gallery were done in my foreign language courses, the objectives and guidelines may be applied to any discipline.
