Digital Storybooks

Digital Storybooks are an engaging and effective way to get our learner's keen to learn. They can send powerful messages, they can help motivate the learner as well as being enjoyable to watch. For a classroom activity I would ask the children to take digital photos, draw pictures, write a story and put them altogether using Powerpoint and turn their group work into a digital story. They learn how to work in a group, to collaberate with each other, and use the tools they are familiar with and enjoy. I have compiled a serious of photos of The Titanic and put the soundtrack from the blockbuster movie in the background to prove how easy it is to quickly create a Digital Storybook.
I hope you enjoy this:-





Digital Storybooks can come in many different forms, some ways are through videos, podcasts, powerpoints and so on. I have embeded a YouTube video below to help explain:-
