It can be a helpful educational tool, as it provides a vehicle for combining
digital media with innovative teaching and learning practices. Apart from building
on learners’ technology skills, digital storytelling encourages additional educational
outcomes (Dakich [2008]). It enhances learners’ motivation, and helps teachers in building constructivist
learning environments that encourage creative problem solving based on collaboration
and peer-to-peer communication. In addition, digital storytelling can be used to facilitate
integrated approaches to curriculum development, and engage learners in higher order
thinking and deep learning
