Empowering Students Through Digital Storytelling: Perceptions of Undergraduate Students
Abstract: Digital Storytelling is the art of combining images, audio and sometimes video to tell a story (Frazel, 2010). Research shows Digital Storytelling improves engagement, critical thinking and creativity. This research reports on the process involved in creating a digital story and the perceptions and experiences in an undergraduate course in a midwestern university designed to help freshmen develop critical and creative thinking skills needed in college life and understand College level work ethics. The undergraduates’ students’ perceptions on digital storytelling as a tool for promoting critical and creative thinking will be reported. The six elements of a good digital story were adapted as guidelines for students to create digital stories
