Here or there? Now or then? What's Storytelling and How far can it take us?

Travelling is one of my passions, but it does not always imply that I have to psychically move to another place; reading and listening to stories is another way of taking ourselves not only to different places but also we can travel through time, to parallel universes... and what's more, you can feel identified with the characters, understand their emotions... 

Being Storytelling as inspiring, why not use it in class? Is there a best way of catching our student's attention and making them aware of their own capabilities. They can always do more than they think, they often mark their own limits because they are afraid of making mistakes, but if you can engage them on telling you things they like, making you travel to those universes they love plus they can use digital support for it, they will realise that they are better than they think as they are having a good time.

I've already used storytelling in class with my students and got great feedback with the activity, but I got the feeling that there was something missing in the final result. With this course, I expect to find the tool that will make the activity not just good or exiting, but amazing, brilliant!
