Abstract
Digital storytelling technique is based on a presentation of course content in a story form using multimedia tools. In this study, digital stories were designed for mathematics instruction with preschool pre-service teachers. At the end of the six-week study, preschool students viewed the digital stories created. The study aimed to determine the effects of digital storytelling technique on the views of preschool pre-service teachers on the course of mathematics and the reactions of preschool students, who viewed the digital stories to the mathematics course. It was observed that pre-service teachers and preschool students considered the above-mentioned technique as interesting, funny but time-consuming. Key words: Digital storytelling technique, mathematics course, preschool students.

Summary
The use of storytelling approach in instructional applications dates back to earlier times. Digital storytelling technique supports the development of individuals’ creative, active learning, visual reading, listening, storytelling, and communications skills in the interdisciplinary context (Botturi, Bramani and Corbino, 2012; Kearney, 2011) This application improves high level thinking paths such as reflective thinking, analytical thinking, critical and creative thinking and supports digital literacy (Nixon, 2009). It would be beneficial to prepare mathematics course materials together with preservice teachers and evaluate pre-application results for these For this purpose, a project of designing digital stories that lasted for six weeks with pre-service teachers participating in this study was conducted. What were the thoughts of pre-service teachers participated in the study on the course of mathematics at the end of the digital storytelling project? What were the thoughts of preschool students that watched the digital stories designed for the course of mathematics?
