The article I chose to write about this week is called Storyboarding Comes to Visual Studio Team System by Doug Barney.
This article is about a company getting a particular storyboarding tool that they have found very useful. This program helps them create and edit storyboards and put them all together to show what the final product might look like. This program helps “mainstream” everything together.
Storyboarding can also be a great way for children to learn. Storyboards simplify things to make learning a difficult concept more understandable. Visualizing abstract idea with a storyboard can also be helpful. It promotes the desire to get involved and can be something a teacher can prepare or a student. By having the student prepare a storyboard, they can work on prediction and presentation skills. With this they can also improve vocabulary, and speaking skills.
I do not really know how this can be improved upon. I have already heard of many new programs that help this process already.

Wow, that is really interesting to know that there is a tool out there on the web that can help finalize the storyboarding project! I agree with you that this method is a great technique for students to visualize their ideas and put what they learned onto paper.
I always enjoyed making power points as a kid, I wish I had storyboarding because it sounds like such an exciting way for students to learn and express their creativity.
I enjoyed reading your article. I agree with you that it is a great way for students to learn and that you included storyboards improving their vocabulary and speaking skills. Thanks!
I think it is great that the are ways to help students or teachers finalize storyboards on the web. It just shows how technology is continually growing.
I definitely agree that using storyboarding in the classroom setting a way to get students involved. It is a great tool to promote presentation and organizational skills as well. I've never created a storyboard but I am very interested in learning more about the program. I like to see things play by play which I'm sure a lot of students can relate to. Thanks!
I think its great that you mentioned the students can improve their persentation skills and speech skills when presenting a storyboard to a class. This is something that we even do all the way through a college level and even in the business world. It's a great way to get kids to overcome thier stage fright as well as help them learn abstract ideas at any age level as you mentioned!
