Digital Storytelling Apps

Digital Storytelling Apps

Digital storytelling is important in education. Digital storytelling can empower, motivate and engage students, helping them to make deep connections to learning. It also provides an opportunity to connect with a group of kids by creating a shared experience. Each student can create a unique story with combining the key elements such as pictures, videos and narrations that demonstrates their creative thinking and understanding.

The apps across both platforms (iPad and Android) are engaging for students and teachers of all age groups and can be used across the curriculum.
