With some innovations brought by the age of technology and science, storytelling has also gained different dimensions. Digital storytelling has emerged with the addition of elements such as sound, video, image, effect and music to traditional storytelling and sharing these stories on digital media. In this study, it was aimed to determine the views of Turkish teachers about using digital storytelling in Turkish lessons. Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The participants of the study consisted of 20 Turkish teachers who were determined through easily accessible situation sampling, one of purposeful sampling methods. The “Semi-Structured Interview Form” developed by the researchers was used to determine the teachers’ views on using digital storytelling in their lessons. Teachers’ views were analyzed through content analysis. As a result of the research, it was seen that most of the teachers did not have detailed knowledge about digital storytelling. It was determined that the digital literacy skills of teachers were not at the desired level. Teachers stated that they consider digital storytelling as a suitable teaching tool to be used in Turkish lessons, digital storytelling is an effective learning tool and that can support the development of the four basic language skills, especially listening and writing skills.
