INTRODUCTION
Storytelling has been used throughout history for teaching and learning. Stories help to make meaning out of a
particular practice. In our lives today, with the technological communication explosion and globalisation, we
have experienced a shift in our traditional understandings of ‘literacies’ to exploring diverse modes of meaningmaking.
Currently children in schools encounter and interact with new digital literacies including blogs, wikis,
social network sites, digital texts and digital storytelling. Given storytelling’s essential role in learning,
meaning-making and knowledge development, it is not unexpected to find digital storytelling being part of an
undergraduate curriculum.
