This study aims to reveal the professional understanding of ICT teachers in a holistic way by allowing them to express their experiences regarding their professional lives using their own voices through digital storytelling workshops and by analyzing their expressions thoroughly. Accordingly, six digital storytelling workshops were conducted in a year: three in Ankara and the others in Elazığ, Çanakkale, and Denizli. 28 ICT teachers participated in these workshops. Also, the researcher participated as a facilitator in the workshops. The data were collected through voice recordings of all participants' narratives in the workshops process, digital stories, semi-structured focus group interviews, and observation notes. The data were analyzed by content analysis using inductive coding technique. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that teachers encountered problems related to the implementation of educational policies, curriculum, teacher education process, parent pressure and bullying, role conflict, classroom management, private school practices, teacher competencies, and infrastructure inadequacies in their professional lives. Some teachers shared the solutions they applied to these problems, and some of them shared their suggestions. At the same time, they communicated with each other about the problems, reviewed their professional lives, made inferences, and produced new solutions during the workshop. As a result, teachers expressed their professional experiences through digital storytelling workshops and the digital stories they created in these workshops. In this way, the circulation of these digital stories represents a concrete step towards enabling teachers to be heard by a wider audience and raising awareness among the relevant parties on the issues raised. Thus, the use of these digital stories in teacher education for pre-service teachers can potentially serve as a bridge between theory and practice.
