Digital storytelling is the result of the combination of traditional storytelling with the use of multimedia technology (Normann, 2011; Lowenthal y Dunlap, 2010; Heo, 2009). It is a tool that allows to significantly enhance the possibilities both in the creation of the stories and in their subsequent transmission (Di Fuccio & Mastroberti, 2018; Nicolopoulou et al. 2015; Iandolo, 2011; Zancanaro et al., 2007; Baumer, Ferholt & Lecusay, 2005).
As a consequence of the increase in technological instruments for digital storytelling, digital storytelling and tangible digital storytelling have become very important trends both at the level of research and the creation of applications and educational platforms.
Narrative competencies are a set of skills in which cognitive, social, expressive and linguistic functions are involved. They typically develop from early childhood, and constitute a fundamental tool in interpersonal relationships and social life (Esposito et al. 2018; Iandolo, Esposito & Venuti 2012a-b).
