[|Foster Creativity and Innovation with Digital Storytelling] - Webinar Group A = 1)Jennifer and 2)Tanya
Most educators recognize the importance of helping students develop their creative and innovative abilities. One way of doing so is through the use of digital storytelling, in which students use digital tools to create and share their own stories.

It is an excellent way for students to tell who they are, share their experiences, or reflect on what they’ve learned.
