Abstract

This project involves hosting a series of Digital Storytelling Contests (DISTCO). After the success of DISTCO 2008 and to continue the current research on the educational uses of digital storytelling, a second contest, DISTCO 2009, has been developed. The contest is open to K-12 students and teachers at both national and international levels. It is designed so that students from different schools can submit their digital stories online in a certain time frame and manner. This paper will highlight if and how teachers incorporated digital storytelling in the classroom, what they hoped to gain by using digital stories in the classroom, what challenges and successes they faced in the implementation process, and whether digital stories helped students to prepare and teachers to teach for the standardized state assessment test. In terms of the research implications for students, this paper will analyze students’ perspectives on using digital stories in the classroom, the motivational effects of using digital stories, and students’ preferred content areas for digital story use.
