Let's Tell a Story with the Digital Tool.




Have you ever use such a Digital tool to tell a story in the second language classroom? Let's take a look how wonderful this great Digital tool is. We are going to take a trip in Taiwan to explore the beautiful scenery and visit the famous spot sites. Are you nervous? Let's go!!!!

This is my story book Let's take a trip to Taiwan. which was created by bookr. Bookr is a tool to create and share your own photobook. Teachers can create their photobook, like mine "Let's take a trip to Taiwan" or they can focus on one topic, such as shopping, movie, travel, and entertainment. In the second language learning class, the teacher can show the picture with some vocabularies and sentences so students will feel interesting and they can connect the vocabularies with the pictures easily. It is a quite easy photobook making machine. The teacher can also teach students how to create their phtobook and it can be one of their assignment.

For example, when the spring break or summer vacation is coming, the teacher can ask students to add some photo that they visit or some places that they want to go. Students will try to look up the vocabularies that relate to their pictures through this assignment. They can share with other classmates and they can also learn the new words from other people. It is a really interesting language learning styles, right? Why do you start to make your own photobook for your classroom? Have FUN!!

Your book is delightful. Anyone who views it would certainly want to visit Taiwan.

You have also posted some excellent way to incorporate digital storytelling to enhance second language learning.
