Storyboard That is a website that offers a creative way to demonstrate a story in a 'comic' sequence. The storyboard is simple to manipulate, for any age to master. The familiar drag and drop feature of this technology tool makes the creating effortless. You may use the multitude of characters, scenes, images, speech bubbles to fill your frames or even upload your own images if you prefer. Storyboard That offers teachers the ability to create a class list in order to manage student storyboard creations with use of their folder system. This folder component allows straightforward organization not only for the types of storyboards created, but also with the different classes one might teach. A class list of all your students' names and work gives the teacher access to view and make changes, suggestions, or changes. The website is complete and accurate. The intended audience is for students and it does have an educational purpose at school or home. Storyboard That is a FREE software program but, only lasts 14 days as a free trial offer which will save up three projects a day to educators, then you must purchase a subscription. There is a menu on top of the main screen to manage and navigate your account; Create a storyboard (your own work), My storyboard, Class storyboard, Teacher dashboard, and Manage my classroom. Once on the website it is easy to begin the storyboard creating. The clicking and dragging feature makes it simple to juxtapose any characters, objects, text bubbles, and anything else to inspire your comic to the next level of creativity. Storyboard That maintains a strong privacy belief. When a teacher gives access to a student, a student does not have to divulge any contact information. A student's privacy is also honored even when they construct their comic boards. Students' storyboards can be made Private (only viewed by student and teacher), Internal to a class (only viewed by the entire class), or Public (viewed by anyone with the link.) The use of this technology is naturally enriching for students because it allows for their own craftsmanship and differentiation to shine through. Students can compose short or long story vignettes, reader's theater (play), or a visual representation after researching in Science or Social Studies. Students use of the Storyboard That can empower an individual or collaboratively on a project.
