What is storytelling and why use it in class?

I think storytelling is a wonderful way to teach and to learn plenty of things, but not just the ones in the subject contents but also to teach other aspects that will help you to be competent in life. I want to grasp your atention using your so much beloved technology and at the same time of having a good time learning all kinds of things that will be of a great use: creativity, use of language, etc. That's why I think it's going to be a great idea to use digital storytelling with some digital tools in class, I hope to learn how to use while doing the course, and to start writing... To write about stories, emotions, people, places, anything that matters us. This is how you and me are going to start our adventure, learning both together. I'll try to do my best in this course because I want to learn all about digital ways that will make you feel more interested and motivated in the topic and in the subject, while you will be learning at the same time the hard job of getting into a white page and starting to write.
