We present an experience of digital storytelling conducted as part of a course for initial teacher training. The students of a special education course produced a digital story as partial fulfillment of their distance learning assignment. We describe the structure of the work completed by the students and discuss the results of a questionnaire they filled out after the course, which aimed to gather their opinions about the experience. The experience was agreeable to the students, with many stating that they are likely to repeat the process in their school, either by developing stories themselves or by engaging their future pupils as designers and developers.
