students to the use of ICT. First of all, the advantages include the fact that is an excellent
way to contextualize the lesson. Moreover, teachers have the possibility to create new
material based on their students perspectives which can be of great help in the teachinglearning process. Furthermore, teachers can engage easily to their students if they are
able to provide with interesting and entertaining materials. If students are the ones creating
the storytelling they can improve the use of technological resources. Also to feel that they
are the center of the class and not the other way around. Besides digital storytelling project
needs basic computer knowledge which most of teachers and students have, you do not
