Abstract

This study explores The Impact of Digital Storytelling on Students’ Creativity and Communication Skills, emphasizing how integrating multimedia narratives into the learning process enhances students’ ability to express ideas imaginatively and communicate effectively. The research examines how digital storytelling—combining text, visuals, sound, and interactive elements—encourages self-expression, critical thinking, and collaboration among learners. Findings reveal that digital storytelling not only increases student engagement but also fosters creativity by allowing learners to construct personal and meaningful narratives using digital tools. Additionally, it improves communication skills through structured storytelling, audience awareness, and the integration of multiple modes of expression. The study concludes that digital storytelling serves as an innovative pedagogical strategy that bridges technology and education, promoting both creative and communicative competencies essential for 21st-century learning.
