Abstract

Rapid development of technology often creates points of conflict in which teachers and students do not necessarily approach teaching and learning in the manner that is comfortable from their perspective. A constant in the ever-shifting landscape of technology, and social media is the practices required to create stories especially for digital sharing. Digital storytelling practices when applied as a framework to learning can elicit multiple points of entry for students into a subject-domain. This paper highlights how the use of digital storytelling practices broke down barriers for students in a Grade 2 inquiry class and allowed more creative and engaged moments that elevated personal and community learning
