Using ICT Teaching and Learning Units
Digital Storytelling: Publishing
These resources will support teachers in introducing Digital Storytelling and Digital Publishing activities into their classroom practice, developing the children’s digital (ICT) skills as well as their digital literacy awareness.
Publishing is about creating a product that is navigated by a user. It may or may not include multimedia or interactive content. Publishing covers anything from a simple poster or an invitation to an interactive book or web page that includes video, audio or links.
Foundation Stage
At Foundation Stage, the key concepts and ICT skills involved in the three modes of Digital Storytelling are the same. There is an emphasis on the unplugged (not using technology) activities at this stage. Whether the children create an animation, a film, a presentation or a digital publication, they will need to have an understanding of the same concepts. Therefore, all three modes of ICT included in Digital Storytelling (Presenting; Publishing; Film & Animation) are addressed together in the Foundation Stage book.
