Yes, Leedale gave us a good start. That is a very clear presentation, easy to follow. I know that I should storyboard, goes to that old adage that you should put 80% of your time into preparation of a project and it goes faster. That is what those GANTT charts were all about.
History of Gantt Charts. I am coming from private industry into education so it is nice to see a transferable skill :)
I did look at the storyboard informational site
Information and Examples of Storyboards The link to
StoryboardThat seems like it is easy to use and you could use it with your students. We, in education, don't always have a lot of resources (insert the word "money" here) and anything that is good and free on the internet is to be used.
Do I have any additional tips and tricks? Whooooo Nellie, maybe. I can see the use of a GANTT chart to keep me on track and not let me get bogged down on one chapter or scene of an Interactive Fiction, for example, a schedule always is a good thing. Coupled with the interactive storyboard, even if it is lowtech (like a physical bulletin board as a story board) or one that is on the internet, it should keep you on track and on schedule. Sometimes we forget that low-tech works.
The Peace Game It certainly worked well for John Hunter.
I know most of us here have access to a lot of technology, but those among us shouldn't think they need it in order to create their story or storyboard. The interaction with media can come later. So let's all get started on our stories!
Did you hear the one about the stock-car driving grasshopper? :)
