Christodoulakis, "EShadow A Tool for Digital Storytelling Based on Traditional Greek Shadow Theatre", in 1st International Workshop on Intelligent Digital Games for Empowerment and Inclusion on Foundations of Digital Games Conference, 2013.
Storytelling is a very common educational practice that is used in every level of education. In particular the use of storytelling in children education can have beneficiary results in the learning and creativity process of children. In this Note we present a storytelling tool inspired by the Greek traditional shadow theater. EShadow is a storytelling tool that can be used from both adults and children in order to create, record, share and watch digital shadow theater plays. It provides alternative methods for controlling the virtual puppets either through mouse or through a motion sensing controller. We present our findings from the use of eShadow in a children’s creativity exhibition and a field trial of eShadow in two elementary schools in Greece. Our findings illustrate that eShadow is very easy to use, attracts the interest of both children and teachers and has a positive impact on the development of children’s creativity.
