Learn about a project based in storytelling and its advantages within a virtual world. In this world, stories are based on the five emotions: joy, sadness, fear, anger and disgust. Eventually, the user achieves self-control and is able to recognize emotions, helping them develop critical thinking and computational thinking skills.

Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

It is based on research and creation of digital content such as the Storytelling where emotions are represented creatively, taking advantage of these digital resources such as:

It provides students with motivation, fun, curiosity, and attitudes conducive to learning.
It helps to establish connections between the contents and to organize the information.
Promotes a host of values to work on in the classroom.
It encourages critical thinking from the reflections of the stories.
Develop social skills like active listening and empathy.
It allows children to pay more attention and obtain a higher level of concentration.
It creates a bond between the teacher and the students, facilitating more fluid communication and more two-way interaction.
It promotes a relaxed and participative work climate.
Stimulates student's creativity and imagination.

The project will be presented using an application called Co-spaces, where it allows the creation of experience within a virtual world. The stories based on storytelling are developed through characters that will have situations based on basic emotions and much more will be displayed from those emotions.

There will be a fun storytelling demonstration where we will lend you a VR viewer, and you can learn and improve your self-control, thus achieving good emotional intelligence.
