Hands-on CLIL: Digital Storytelling through Multiple Intelligences - Apps for Scaffolding your teaching Pathways
Digital storytelling combines the art of telling stories with a mixture of digital media, including text, pictures, recorded audio narration, music and video. These multimedia elements are blended together using computer software, to tell a story that usually revolves around a specific theme or topic and often contains a particular point of view.
Digital Storytelling can be a powerful educational tool for students at all ages and grade levels who are tasked with creating their own stories. This use of digital storytelling capitalizes on the creative talents of students as they begin to research and tell stories of their own, learn to use the library and the internet to research rich, deep content while analyzing and synthesizing a wide range of information and opinions. In addition, students who participate in the creation of digital stories develop enhanced communication skills by learning to organize their ideas, ask questions, express opinions, and construct narratives. Students who have the opportunity to share their work with their peers may also gain valuable experience in critiquing their own and other students’ work, which can promote gains in emotional intelligence, collaboration and social learning.
In 2004, Bernard R. Robin established the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website (http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu) to serve as a helpful resource for those interested in learning how digital storytelling could be integrated into a variety of educational activities.
Students learn in ways that are identifiably distinctive. The broad spectrum of students - and perhaps the society as a whole - would be better served if disciplines could be presented in a numbers of ways and learning could be assessed through a variety of means." These learning styles can be the seven distinct "Multiple Intelligences" as described by Howard Gardner of Harvard.

In our course "Hands-on CLIL: Digital Storytelling through Multiple Intelligences" we present a series of technology enhanced applications that foster interactivity in language learning and can be applied in a S.T.R.E.A.M. perspective (Science Technology Reading Engineering Arts Mathematics). Dr. Petros Georgiakakis proposes a list of CLIL apps and tools based in Gamification, that can foster studnets curiocity and creativity. CLIL can be a fun way to get familiar with the language you want to learn. In our course you can find ideas to incorporate in your classroom and in your learning pathways.
