Digital Storytelling in Kindergarten

Digital storytelling is using computer-based tools to tell stories. After listening to Jan Brett's story The Gingerbread Baby, kindergarten students created their own Gingerbread Baby adventure stories. Each student dictated one sentence for the story, building upon the previous student's page. Then, they used Early Learning Toolkit to illustrate the story. Finally, they recorded themselves reading their page using the Web 2.0 tool Voice Thread. Every child smiled as they listened to themselves, making all the work that goes into this project well worth it!
