The document discusses storytelling and how it can be used as a tool for learning. It suggests that storytelling allows students to think in metaphors and learn through stories. It provides examples of how digital tools like QR codes and apps can be used to incorporate storytelling into the classroom. It also outlines some rules of thumb for using storytelling, such as personalizing tasks to students' experiences, collaborating on group projects, and getting feedback from both inside and outside the classroom.
