Tell Me a Story (Thing 10)

There are numerous applications for digital storytelling in the World Language (WL) classroom, though I have not yet put them into practice. Since I teach language mostly through the use of narratives of all sorts, I am already a "believer" in the power of stories, myths and legends.
Here, in no particular order, are some of the most salient applications of digital narratives in WL:
-personalization and extension of previously studied content;
-demonstration of understanding of previously studied content;
-exploration of rich cultural content through the study of myths from various cultures and the "construction" of one's own myths;
-narration of current events in a storytelling format that personalizes events for both the creator and his/her audience;
-enrichment of connections between the classroom and the real world through practical applications of digital narrative techniques.
In short, everyone loves a great story.
The most obvious obstacles to incorporating digital storytelling in my classes are:
-large class sizes, limiting the degree of personalization of guidance and feedback that I can offer;
-lack of cameras;
lack of lab time.
Teacher narratives are always so tragic!
