- Abstract
- This book explores how storytelling combined with digital media can enhance learning and media literacy in education. The book explains how teachers can integrate narrative techniques with curriculum content to develop students’ reading, writing, speaking, and creative skills. It emphasizes storytelling as a core method for understanding ideas and communicating knowledge through multimedia formats. The text also provides practical strategies, story-mapping tools, and production guidance for creating digital stories in classrooms. It links digital storytelling with critical thinking, creativity, and 21st-century literacy skills. Additionally, the book discusses copyright, fair use, and ethical media use while encouraging students to become active creators of media rather than passive consumers. Overall, it positions digital storytelling as a powerful educational approach for improving both traditional and media literacy.
