Assignment #2 Creating a Map or Storyboard for my Digital Story

Expected time to complete reading and the written assignment: 15 - 30 minutes:

Your assignment for this segment is to create a storyboard for your project. After you create your storyboard, please return to this wiki page and share a brief reflection of what it was like for you to create a storyboard.

Here are two examples of a storyboard. The first one is blank and the second one is filled in. You can create your own storyboard by sketching it on a piece of paper. This assignment is not to be turned in; it's just to assist you in the process of creating your own story.





Remember to select the "Edit" button, and by your name, add your personal reflection. When you are done, be sure to click on "Save." As for using a storyboard, it is a great way to organize thought/ideas/images. I wanted to cut the page apart, however, and use each image and text like index/flash cards. Old thinking, I guess! ||  ||

 * EXAMPLE: Claudia McIvor ||  || EXAMPLE: enjoyed this experience. A storyboard is a great way to help me organize my thoughts. ||   ||
 * Example: Lorraine S. DeLuca ||  || I have been thinking about doing this for the past few days, and as I worked on the storyboard I became excited because I was fleshing it out and am looking forward to begin putting it together. ||   ||
 * Example: Sr.Sheila Patenaude,FMM ||  || I enjoyed doing the storyboard, but felt frustrated my first attempt at a 30-second Animoto,because I was too wordy and had to reduce what I wanted to say. I plan to do the short Animoto as a "preview" and perhaps a longer, fuller version of my "story" for the final Capstone Project, though I'm not sure yet what media I'll use for that. ||   ||
 * Paul Jeffrey Thomas ||  || I definitely see the value in the storyboard. It is hands on and helps to make ideas concrete; connecting hand to heart and heart to hand. Much like using a pencil for me when writing music, it helps make the creative process a physical experience. I think it is interesting that despite our age of computer assisted everything, even Hollywood still uses these. Guess we're all in good company. ||   ||
 * Madeleine Vessel ||  || Really loved using a storyboard. It is a wonderful tool for organizing and planning. What appeals to me most is that it allows for the creation of a visual plan, which is best for me because I have to see things before I can understand them. Because I made my storyboard in PowerPoint, not on a piece of paper, I was able to move slides around and change things the minute I realized my ideas weren't flowing. Very handy! By the way, when I accessed PDF Pad, I found only gibberish. Anyone else have the same problem? ||   ||
 * Joanna Haston ||  || Madelaine, when I went to the pdf.pad page, under the jibberish - a repeated series of error messages - I could see the settings for TV and 8.5x11, so I hit print and got the page!
