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

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
