Technology should be integrated into teaching in ways that promote meaningful learning. Storytelling has been shown to support the development of young children's communication skills that are essentials for adapting to their social world. In this study, kindergarten teachers integrated technology into teaching to encourage storytelling. Specifically, children told stories through selecting digital photos and recording audio expressions in a story creation interest center. The digital photos teachers provided were taken from stories teachers told, from children's art work, or from field trips experience. Thus, teaching activities in various interest centers were connected through storytelling activities. This article describes how teachers scaffold children's storytelling activities through providing (a) selected photos for children to create stories, (b) task descriptions as goals to lead children's work, (c) guiding questions which stimulating children to reflect on their stories, and (d) feedbacks to promote better learning in the future. |
