This new alternative of teaching process involves students to encode message in the media with the purpose to make them perceive this message better than only with the print form.

Using this new tool, the class becomes more interesting, and the teacher increases the attention of the students. One of the most interesting aspects of using digital storytelling in the classroom is that it is very easy to evolve these stories with technical knowledge and aptitudes of both teacher and student. In its most basic form, a digital story can be stated through Power Point. To evolve a story in the process of learning, teachers can use Photo Story which is one of our most popular tools. Photo Story is ease of using and making it applicable even in the primary grades. Also, if a teacher wants to combine images, videos and audio in a compelling movie, the appropriate tool to use is Movie Maker.
