I love storytelling. Point of my view, it's a "SUPER TOOL".

I am working in a rural primary school, and I appreciate being able to offer my students complete training by adding programs that enrich both learning and their expression of knowledge. The comic is a very interesting motivating element but also generator of important work ideas in students.
I am not the learning tool of my students. I am only the one who opens an increasingly wide range of tools thanks to learning like the one this course will provide me with.

Teaching requires powerful strategies to transmit knowledge. Storytelling is a useful and emotional tool that teachers at any educational level or field of study can use to enhance the educational experience of their students. How to achieve it?

Every story needs a direction (knowing the ending beforehand), emotion, and meaning (a key message to move your audience).

Remember that you need a character that creates empathy: someone that is in danger or that is the victim of a catastrophe; that is the best in its class or has great power. This character should invite students to take action, that is, what do I want my students to do with the message of the story?

Also, the character has to undergo a transformation; that goes from a comfort zone to an obstacle or problem that disrupts the order. Finally, the character succeeds or fails to solve the problem, which transforms the character morally.

Tips to create memorable stories

1. Commit yourself to the story and to your audience.

2. Use voice modulation and dramatize.

3. Tell your stories with gestures, body language and movement.

4. Create mental images through descriptions made with all the senses.

5. Use metaphors.

6. Make eye contact with each of your students to emphasize what is important.

7. Encourage interaction through questions.

8. Keep a journal and write down all the stories that come your way.

9. Integrate a group of storytellers to make constructive criticism.

If you want to know more about storytelling, we invite you to read our Edu Trends report.

I have always thought that comics are a great tool that, if used correctly, can get students really engaged when it comes to telling a story of any kind using another language.

Story telling is a complex process, in which a series of events are develop as a single story with a meaning to the narrator and listeners, story telling uses some skills to deliver a meaningful content, characters, it involves time, location, culture, mentality, language, and many other elements used as tool to give shape to a story.

But now I think about the media, not just the content but the way of communicate the story, also users and context of use of the story telling, and finally about the educational uses.

Storytelling is the art of telling stories. It has always been a powerful and engaging way of learning things to children and teenagers. At the school of the  21st century, digital tools allow  students and teachers to create stories using different ressources (video, audio, image) at the same time. These tools increase our students engagement and contribute to develop their digital. And the most important thing, a lot of fun!

As an English Primary Teacher, I need to use attractive tools and activities to engage our students in reading and writing, which are the most difficult skills to acquire, specially in the first grades of Primary Education.
In our school, we do not use coursebooks so we teachers have to create our material and design an effective and coherent planning.
We cannot ignore the importance of digital resources and continuous formation must be encouraged towards this topic.
Digital Storytelling is useful for both creating a "format" for the lesson planning, and to introduce new grammar structures and topics in a more enjoyable and significative way.

I have been using comics in education since three or four years, as usual we readed different kind of comics related to the History curriculum, however the last two years I decided go forward and involved my pupils making themselves their own comics about subjects or topics like equality gender, nature.....They are able to do it!!!!! They feel more capable to face different challenges and feel more confident!!!!!

I used to think storytelling wasn’t a very useful tool for students to use since they easily get bored and often frustrated when you ask them to write a few lines.

Now I think that digital storytelling can make students enjoy writing stories. As the article says, kids are growing up in a digital world. If we want to motivate them, we, teachers, must give them the tools they feel more comfortable working with. The mixture of text, images, audio, music… are these tools!

I used to think that Storytelling was driven by a timeline and was specially suitable for teaching History. But now I think, after gazing the website (http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/page.cfm?id=27&cid=27), that Storytelling can be used in other subjects, can be created by teachers and also by students, and are shorter than I thought (2-10 minutes only!)
