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." Great, Dale! Glad it works with your process. -Kristi ||  || storyboard 'product' - so don't worry about the drawing challenge too much :) -Kristi ||  ||
 * ~ NAME ||~  ||~ YOUR REFLECTION ||~   ||
 * EXAMPLE: Claudia McIvor ||  || EXAMPLE: enjoyed this experience. A storyboard is a great way to help me organize my thoughts. ||   ||
 * Ann Ferguson ||  || I am finding out how visual I am when it comes to organizing my thoughts. I enjoyed this very much and can see making good use of this and teaching it to others as a way to plan things out. ||   ||
 * K.M. Kirkpatrick ||  || This organization process helped sift through what is important for the digital story. I had many, many pics. Perfect use, Kathleen! We often have many pics. - Kristi ||   ||
 * Susan Ajoc ||  || "Drawing" out the storyboard helped to narrow down pictures and ideas/phrases. 30 seconds seem short - look forward to the next __#|step__. True on all 3 accounts :) ||   ||
 * Dale Brown ||  || Have experience with storyboarding, so it was a familiar process. Besides, I am an "outlining" kind of person before I do things so it fits into the process well.
 * Rachele Deering ||  || Having to draw is a challenge but putting my story together in parts allowed the whole story to come to life -With drawing, the process is more important than your
 * Ruth E Manlandro ||  || I love storyboarding. This is a great way of organizing my thoughts, pictures,and ideas. I use it with my students all the time. Great! -Kristi ||   ||

Lynn Edmonds ||  || Helped me focus on hopefully the most effective way of sharing my story. - yes, exactly the point, Mary :) -Kristi

Actually drawing out a storyboard enables me to arrange the presentation of the elements of my story -rearranging is one of the best parts of storyboarding! _kristi

Organization similar to planning agendas for retreats, creating ppt. and other means where you "map" out what you want to do. great analogy! - kristi

Having to plan out the story on storyboard necessitates breaking the story down into pieces. I didn't realize how an overall story could have so many pieces. True! and, as you learned, can help us edit things down when needed :) - Kristi ||  || It's great to build on our skills, or find new ways to use the tools we love! knj ||   || With storyboards, the process is definitely more important than the board "product", and I love how you have a name for your planning :) knj ||   || Great, Sue! knj ||  ||
 * Amy Acker Mobley ||  || Very helpful and my finished product came out exactly as I had hoped. YAY! knj ||   ||
 * Lori Crawford ||  || Reminded me that sometimes shorter is better - I don't need 3 minutes to make an impact. Helped me to clarify my objective and focus in on what images might have the biggest impact. A great reminder for all of us who tend to overdo ;) knj ||   ||
 * Ginny Nolan ||  || First experience with storyboard. Helped me to analyze and plan the project step by step. Will definitely use in the future! Great, Ginny! knj ||   ||
 * Ana Munoz ||  || I think the tip on using Power Point to create the storyboard was an excellent idea, THANK YOU! I really enjoy using Power Point, and it works perfectly for this purpose. Adding text and images, plus notes, was really easy and fast to do. Plus, if you add some animations, it gives you a clear idea of what to expect in the end product (video).
 * Jen McIlveen ||  || Working with a storyboard helps to better focus the arrangement of the ideas into a clear message. Sketching the ideas is not a strong point, but I found that using the board and using words for my imperfect sketches worked very well for me. I have used the concept in the past but didn't realize that I was "storyboarding" without the storyboard. Something I can definitely use in the future.
 * sue sharlow ||  || Great and fun tool. I've seen story boards used before, but never used it myself. Nice visual organization and helps keep the presentation concise.
 * Kevin Hansut ||  || Storyboard caused me to organize and condense to fit a day into 30 seconds ||   ||
 * Kelli Bonner ||  || I sure wish I could draw better. This is an effective graphic organizer. I wish I had used it more in the classroom. ||   ||
