Abstract

In this digital era, many applications are available for teachers to engage students in their classrooms. Digital storytelling is one of the tools that provides to collaborate online. This qualitiative study This study intends to examine students’ perception of the use of MakeBeliefcomix, investigate language challenges students face when creating stories, investigate the technology-related problems students face when creating stories, and find out the challenges of having online collaborations when creating stories. The participants of this study were the three freshmen who were in Structure II class. The findings of this study suggest that Makebeliefcomic is sufficient for a novice digital storytellers, but it lacks features that makes it hard for users to create more sophisticated stories. When creating the stories, the biggest challenge lies on students’ ability to express themselves in casual conversation. Slangs and idioms are sometimes difficult to translate into English. On the contrary, the project allows students to increase their awareness of the grammar rules, punctuations and capitalizations. Students are digital natives, so they are used to solving their own problems. Schedule conflict and procrastination are some of the challenges for those who practice online collaboration.
