This engagement activity requires us to explain how we would use digital story telling with students. I would like to encourage students to create digital story telling so that they can be shared within the class. I could also use it as an engagement strategy to get students introduced and interested in a topic we were going to explore in class, for example, life cycles. Students could then create digital books individually or in groups exploring life cycles individually, for example, some students may create a digital story on human life cycles and others on butterflies, goldfish and ant life cycles. I could even use this as a teaching strategy to actually teach concepts to meet learning outcomes. The digital story telling could also be utilised as assessment pieces as they are polished and authentic (CQUniversity Australia, 2013). If we added these digital stories to a class wikispace which shares with other students in other classes and schools this would support social constructivist learning theory (CQUniversity Australia, 2013). It also supports connectivism learning theory as it utilises the internet and computers and could even utilise information received through consultation with experts in the field the digital story is about (CQUniversity Australia, 2013).
