Empowering Young Storytellers: Fostering Oral Language and Literacy with iPad | Culture Tech
Storytelling is at the heart of early childhood, helping children explore their world, express ideas, and connect with others. Digital tools like iPad offer new ways for young learners to bring their stories to life through photos, videos, drawing, and simple animation—enhancing oral language, creativity, and communication.
This hands-on workshop explores how educators can integrate digital storytelling into everyday learning, providing opportunities for children to structure narratives, experiment with vocabulary, and develop confidence in self-expression. Participants will engage in practical activities using iPad, gaining simple, effective strategies to support storytelling in play-based, developmentally appropriate ways.
Participants will:
Explore how digital storytelling with photos, videos, drawings, and animation supports oral language and literacy.
Engage in hands-on activities using iPad to create and share multimodal stories.
Learn strategies for embedding ethical digital practices, including privacy, consent, and responsible content sharing.
Participants will leave this workshop with practical ideas, confidence, and resources to enhance storytelling with digital tools in their learning environments.
This workshop aligns with the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (Communicating, Connectedness, Active Learning) and the Early Years Learning Framework (Outcomes 1, 5), as well as drawing on the research and principles outlined in Early Childhood Australia’s Statement on Young Children and Digital Technologies.
Queensland Early Years Services can use their Kindy Uplift funding to attend this workshop as it aligns with the priority area of Oral Language and Literacy.
