Topic: Education and didactic storytelling. A perspective of what this story teaches and how could it be used for educational purposes in a classroom setting
Article #1 Chan, Banny SK, Daniel Churchill, and Thomas KF Chiu. "Digital literacy learning in higher education through digital storytelling approach." Journal of International Education Research (JIER) 13.1 (2017): 1-16.
Storytelling is an integral part of learning. Chan et al. set out to investigate digital storytelling's importance in enhancing students' digital learning. The study used interviews and analyzed artifacts of three students they selected from a three multimedia course. They found out that storytelling boosted the performance of the three students despite having prior knowledge of digital literacy (Chan et al., 12). They recommended that teachers learn the art of storytelling to enhance and motivate students to improve in various subject areas. Their results are worth adapting, but they did not use a sample representing the schools' real situation. Nonetheless, the article helps my study because it will give insights into the importance of digital literacy storytelling. I will compare the information from this article and others to guide me through my research.
Article #2 Lal, Shalini, Catherine Donnelly, and Jennifer Shin. "Digital storytelling: an innovative tool for practice, education, and research." Occupational therapy in health care 29.1 (2015): 54-62.
Digital storytelling is a learning technique that teachers and instructors have not adopted on a large scale. Lal et al.
