Digital stories are usually about 2-10 minutes long, and they can range from historical stories, to personal stories, to fictional stories. The possibilities are endless!]]> 2018-04-13 17:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vonhausene/7s578qoxv1fv/wish/251659208 vonhausene https://padlet.com/vonhausene/7s578qoxv1fv/wish/251659292 As an instructional tool for teachers:

YET! The level of Spanish I teach (level 1) is very basic. 
In order to introduce vocabulary and grammar concepts, in the past I have created short stories on Notebook (on my SMART Board). From these stories, I ask students simple questions in the target language in order to measure their comprehension.

TPR relies on storytelling, which is something I would love to do more in my classroom. 
I have found that when I tell my students stories in Spanish, they seem very engaged and they pay attention. Digital Storytelling seems to be the next step for me to explore.
