The link
The dynamic process of creating digital stories develops a deeper connection with the subject matter being learned.
What is the relation between CT-DST?
digital storytelling can stimulate critical thought, and because of the nature of the activity where students need to connect and reflect on the subject matter being learned deeply, they involve critical examinations drawing parallels between controversial issues such as religion and belief systems in society, among other subjects.
