Digital Storytelling at Ruch Elementary
Working alongside Abram Katz from the Heartisan Foundation, we helped students build community and confidence with writing techniques and expressing emotion in their descriptive storytelling. The stories were then transformed by the students into a recorded narrative matched with images, bringing their stories to life. This storytelling project was important for the students because it gave them the chance to express themselves, recognize their emotions, and their cultures.
