Abstract

The present research explores the creative utilization of verse story of animal characters in the Cretan Renaissance (in its oral and written tradition), in the context of multiliteracy with the use of digital storytelling and ICT tools. In particular, it is investigated whether digital storytelling is an effective tool for utilizing the selected folk tale, in terms of its educational extensions in translanguaging, multiliteracy, the formation of personal and cultural identity, differentiated pedagogy, collaborative learning and creative expression. The present research seeks to contribute, through a guided project, to the emergence of the conjunction between digital storytelling and the teaching of folk culture, as a functional added value in the educational process. Moreover, the attitudes and perceptions of preschool teachers are explored, regarding the implementation of the guided educational scenario in the fields of interdisciplinary / collaborative teaching of the subjects of Language, Environmental Studies, Creation-Expression and Informatics with the use of Digital Storytelling and ICT tools.
