Storytelling is for me one of the most useful and effective tools in the classroom. Well, in fact, one of the most useful and amazing things we have in life!
Tell a story to your friends while sitting at a table having dinner together! if it's a good story, something unexpected! a tale with a twist!!..everybody loves it!!
Tell a story or try playing with story card games with friends on a trip to the mountains... feels great!!
Tell a story to your children before they go to sleep...soooo sweet!!
Tell creepy stories to your students in Halloween!! They will adore you!!
Everybody loves stories, humans like telling stories and being told stories, that's why we read books, go to the cinema, go to the theatre and love good songwriters!!
Well, in fact as “After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
I have used storytelling in the classroom in different ways but mainly in the old traditional style, having my students sit in a circle around me and trying to create a nice atmosphere to listen to any kind of stories.
But, definitely audiovisuals are here, ready to be used and I would like to learn about new tools to make stories maybe more interactive and visual.
As for my expectations with this course, I really would love to manage Kahoot, I've used it once as a participant but I would love to use it as a teacher with my students. And, as always, I hope to explore and share new materials with the other students in the course.
