We decided to create a digital story because it´s a powerful way to communicate with others, it develops creativity and critical thinking, It gives us the opportunity to enhance the 4 linguistic skills, It develops skills and key competences for lifelong learning and it gives us the opportunity to work cooperatively favouring socialization. The advantages of digital storytelling are countless. The main instructional goal was to develop cultural values by creating an original story and sharing it to the world. The very important thing it was the pprocess, not the final project. We are teaching and learning in the 21st century, so we need new methods, new skills, collaborative work... Let´s inspire, encourage learning by exploring, let´s use our imagination, let´s get messy... because learning English is fun!
Some students created a digital storytelling project. The story is about a Monster called Miedo who makes Billy, a poor penguin and all the children in the world being afraid of learning languages and this year, thanks to the etwinning platform and thanks to the etwinning partners, we can write a continuation of the story... 
In this Collaborative project, we included the elements of a fairy tale; other worlds, other creatues; monsters heroes... I shared this idea with my etwinning partners and we started the digital storytelling challenge. The students will be involved in decision making, they will become illustrators, writers, readers and even the main characters of their own story.First we will use the internet to learn about our etwinning partners, to learn about the project, about ideas on how to overcome our fears to learn a language, other cultures... We will make projects and related activities. They will make comic, pictures, stories with paper and pencil and/or they can type the stories on the computer.
We will talk about the story, we will share ideas to fight Monster Miedo... once the illustrations and the audiorecording is complete, we will produce it with Imovie. We will celebrate and share our school activities, We will have fun planning and celebrating Halloween workshops and Autumn parties collaborating with etwinning partners learning from each other, we will participate in Christmas cards and songd competitions, Christmas cards swap, supporting each other in iniciatives for Peace, celebrating St Patricks day in an innovative way... These situations help children understand the value of culture and cultural events.
STORY VALUES:
- We are always willing to learn, we face our fears, we do our best,we put a lot of effort and attention,we make the most of every situation.
We will work on values all along the project because every time "Monster Miedo" appears He gets is trouble, because he is a Monster, He is a very naughty monster and he plays tricks on the children, poor chlidren! Will be able to beat Monster Miedo?
