Analysis shows that the students came to realize that minorities in classrooms may fail to actively participate due
to the literacy practices and interaction of their culture being different from those in the classroom. The classteacher
and other students may interpret that those from the minorities are incapable or not cooperative.
However, using digital story telling provided a platform to the minorities to make their voices heard and let
others know that they are not linguistically poor students. This type of situation is echoed by Anstey and Bull
(2006). In addition, Sylvester and Greenidge (2010) agree that “using this multimedia approach in the classroom
helps students discover voices, confidence and structure in their writing”.
