Abstract

Digital storytelling integrates different digital media with narrative potential to facilitate individuals in sharing experiences and constructing meaning. In the Health Education is a recurring discussion the need for change in traditional teaching practices with the appreciation of the student’s experiences and promoting active and reflective participation. The discussion about digital storytelling is based on Bruner’s ideas about storytelling educational value and about its potential to organize experiences, to promote reflection, and to share meaning. This article presents a literature review about digital storytelling contribution to Health Education. The articles were selected in international journals, and the analysis included only those presenting pedagogical practices on the subject. The results show pedagogical practices with the use of digital storytelling in different contexts, involving students in training and health professionals.
