What is electronic
storyboarding?
Electronic storyboarding is a technique that allows
you to create a show and tell presentation using
your digital photos. Once a photo story has been
made it can be played on Windows Media
Player or burned to a DVD or CD.
Special Features
• Create slideshows using your digital photos.
With a single click, you can touch-up, crop, or
rotate pictures.
• Add stunning special effects, soundtracks, and
your own voice narration to your photo stories.
Then, personalize them with titles and captions.
• Small file sizes make it easy to send your photo
stories in an e-mail. Watch them on your TV, a
computer, or a Windows Mobile–based portable
device.

Phase 1: Creating Electronic
Storyboards
– Plan out the purpose (are you going to begin a
storytelling workshop, are kids going to give a
report, etc.)
– Align your goals with the curriculum and the
standards (always have a reason for what you do)
– Create a demo storyboard that maps out your
expectations (this will give students an idea of how
they work)
– Store media (pictures, music, etc – they still have
choice…) for the kids in a central, easy-access
location
Phase 2: Development
• Type and edit ideas and dialogs in a
Word Program
• Edit media (pictures, animation)
• Import media into the multimedia
tool
• Arrange the media to flow with the
storyboard
• Upload digital pictures by copying
and pasting headings and narrations
• Record narrations
Storyboard Tips
• Tell a narrative story
• Simplicity –
– Elementary Students: 150 words or
less
Secondary Students: 300 words or
less
• Use the storyboard template
• Transfer the narrative to a Word Program
• Print the narrative and look for key
words which suggest particular images to
include
such as pictures, animation and clip art

Phase 3: Customization
What can you do to make your Storyboard
unique?
Use transitions and special effects
How long will your transition be?
How will your picture appear and move?
Make your final revisions and reviews
Has everything been proofread?
Is your project error free?
Is everything running smoothly?
Phase 4: Culmination
What do students do when they are done with
their projects?
•
•
•
•
Students share their digital stories
Teachers and peers evaluate the project.
Student projects can be published on the internet.
Projects can be played through Windows Media
Player or burned to a CD
Evaluation
