Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time. Everyday we tell each other stories about our day, the people we meet and what we dream about. It is how we make sense of the world and those who are in it. Story telling is an essential part of the human experience.
The 4th yr DOST ICT class came up with another way of integrating ICT and storytelling and came up with using the power of puppetry.
Using Audacity to edit audios and record voices, and accompanied storytelling with music and sound effects, the 4th yr (Newton & Galileo)became so involved with their interaction with the puppets that they do not realize they are learning a lot with it.

Truly, puppets strike a deal with their creators. When you move them, and they move you. Whatever their materials, whatever their size, however cheaply they have been put together, all puppets come to life as characters.
"Follow the penguin"
"Holding a puppet is not so easy, its really hard work"
"Are you enjoying our show?"
"Coordination in puppetting is hard work"
The "animated" puppets
"Puppets help relay stories that are real-life experiences of its creator"
Storytelling is not only for children but is something we should all strive to keep and to honor, for it is through the creative imagination that real stories grow, with hope and inventions are birthed.
