In today’s selection, we’ll introduce you to some really good digital storytelling apps that you can use with children and young learners. They are particularly suitable for the development of children’s literacy. You can have the children work in pairs or alone on creative projects that involve writing personal stories (imaginary or real). The apps offer them some interesting features to make their stories engaging and informative. They can record their own voice for narration and use images, characters, photos and backgrounds to bring their stories to life. And when they finish their work, they can easily share it with the whole class and get feedback from their peers.
