Tell us about your culture!

Can’t wait to tell the whole class about your culture? How about using digital storytelling? Well, check out mine, Legend of Spring Festival.

         Digital storytelling is an efficient tool to show cultures. I would use it for students to tell cultural stories, such as mythology of festivals, biographies of folk heroes or famous tourism attractions. Students, with diversified cultural background, can use digital storytelling to make up their own stories. This is also helpful of constructing cultural identities. In addition, students’ would love to watch animated stories in an informative and concise way. What’s more, by viewing stories from many other peers, they can broaden their knowledge on different cultures.

         I would recommend Stupeflix, a digital storytelling tool. Students can create their own stories within a minute for free! It is easy to control and add texts, pictures and music to their meaningful stories. I believe students will enjoy creating stories and, in so doing, experiencing a sense of satisfactory. Why not trying it out now?
