Abstract

This lesson plan outlines a learning unit in which a group of preservice teachers (PSTs) explored both AI in education and educational uses of digital storytelling, then integrated AI into a digital storytelling project. The PSTs used an instructor-created custom chatbot to support script writing, then employed AI image generation programs to create visuals for their digital stories. Finally, they used a video creation platform to record their own voice overs and synthesize all media elements into a cohesive storytelling video.
