Abstract: Abstract: This study examined pre-service teachers’ perceptions of creating and using digital stories in special education classrooms. During this study, pre-service teachers created a three-dimensional autobiography using the digital storytelling site known as ZooBurst. After creating the digital autobiography, the pre-service teachers shared their autobiographies with students in developmental pre-school classrooms. Pre-service teachers were surveyed regarding their experiences with creating a digital story using ZooBurst. Also, information was gathered about their perceptions of possible uses of digital stories in special education classrooms.
