Purposive Sample

It is necessary to develop digital literacy skills with which students can communicate and express their ideas effectively using digital media. The educational sectors around the world are beginning to incorporate digital literacy into the curriculum. Digital storytelling, one of the possible classroom activities, is an approach which may help engage and motivate students to learn digital literacy skills. To investigate this approach, the present small-scale study employs the methods including interviewing and analysing the artefacts of three students selected from a purposive sample on a multimedia course. The findings indicate that the three students have improved in terms of three aspects of digital literacy skills, namely, digital competence, digital usage and digital transformation regardless of their prior knowledge and levels of digital literacy.

This chapter describes the use of wireless mobile devices for teaching and learning, and their impact on digital literacy. Following a brief description of these digital tools for education, a sampling of short narratives is used to illustrate what types of educational activities are possible above and beyond what is possible without them, what pedagogical changes need to be made to effectively integrate wireless mobile devices in teaching and learning activities, how these devices can be adapted to harness their full potential as ubiquitous devices for teaching and learning, and how digital literacy skills influence and are being influenced by this technology. The ultimate goal of this chapter is to provide evidence of the potential that wireless mobile devices have for teaching and learning.

With some innovations brought by the age of technology and science, storytelling has also gained different dimensions. Digital storytelling has emerged with the addition of elements such as sound, video, image, effect and music to traditional storytelling and sharing these stories on digital media. In this study, it was aimed to determine the views of Turkish teachers about using digital storytelling in Turkish lessons. Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The participants of the study consisted of 20 Turkish teachers who were determined through easily accessible situation sampling, one of purposeful sampling methods. The “Semi-Structured Interview Form” developed by the researchers was used to determine the teachers’ views on using digital storytelling in their lessons. Teachers’ views were analyzed through content analysis. As a result of the research, it was seen that most of the teachers did not have detailed knowledge about digital storytelling. It was determined that the digital literacy skills of teachers were not at the desired level. Teachers stated that they consider digital storytelling as a suitable teaching tool to be used in Turkish lessons, digital storytelling is an effective learning tool and that can support the development of the four basic language skills, especially listening and writing skills.

This article discusses the use of digital storytelling to enable pre-service teachers to develop critical digital literacy skills. Digital storytelling and new literacies share the same set of abilities: 1) finding, evaluating and consuming digital content; 2) exploring identity and cultural landscapes; 3) creating new digital materials drawing from multiple media; and 4) communicating what was found or created with an audience. The study is based on the essays of pre-service teachers enrolled in Cultural Foundations of Education, who produced two digital stories. Responses showed that they believed the assignments helped them become more reflective, culturally aware and media savvy, and led them to a critical and practical knowledge of multimodal content production. Digital storytelling, then, utilizes almost all of the critical digital skills and literacies pre-service teachers are expected to bring to diverse, globalized, and technology-infused 21st century classrooms.
