Topic 1-- What are Storyboards? And Why are They Useful in the Classroom?
Introduction
A storyboard is a graphical or written image of the all of the essential elements that will be included in a digital story. “The storyboard is usually created before actual work on creating the digital story begins and a written description and graphical depiction of the elements of the story, such as images, text, narration, music, transitions, etc. are added to the storyboard (Robin, B, 2015, Get Started with Digital Storytelling)”. The essentials elements of the story are placed in the storyboard in a sequential order in which they will appear in the story and this allows the developer to organize and reorganize the material for utmost result. In this unit we will discuss what storyboarding is and how teachers can use it to help to the needs of students in the classroom in order to be successful.
