Abstract
The present research, explores the benefits of digital storytelling, as an ICT tool, in teaching folk culture modules at the Elementary School, through a guided project, focusing on the discipline of Language in the 5th Grade of Elementary School. Even though folk culture never constituted an independent discipline in the analytical curriculum, its presence is traced in scattered modules (folk tales, riddles, proverbs, folk songs), especially in Anthology, which can be combined in a cross-curricular way with other disciplines, such as the ICT course (digital storytelling - presentations), with Environmental Studies, Visual Arts and Flexible Zone. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the debate and research on whether digital storytelling is effective in teaching folk culture. It is also examined whether digital storytelling enhances students' motivation for learning, teamwork, creative and critical thinking, and ultimately whether it offers more opportunities for engaging and learning for students who are performing poorly in linear teaching.
