Abstract
Abstract: Digital storytelling (DS) is an emerging process with the promise of student engagement that helps build critical thinking and 21st Century technology skills. Limited research exists on how DS has been implemented in the high school classroom, especially high school science classrooms. This paper presents the results of a research study where 169 high school science students, working as small groups, utilized the DS process to create digital videos summarizing the results of their environmental issue investigations. Success stories will be shown and tips to avoid the “Hollywood effect” or student infatuation with the digital video technology are shared. Discussion focuses on what teachers can do in their classroom to guide students in development of their stories and what educational researchers can do in professional developments to help build teacher DS skills and confidence in use of this new technology.
