Presentation Story Boarding
Most of the articles that show how to create a storyboard are ones that use programs I already know how to operate fairly well. These would be good tutorials to use for students in teaching them how to create their own (would save on copying,huh!)
The template in the last article looks very useful--it is more detailed than the others. I think that might be a useful series of articles to peruse more deeply.

I don't think that it's a bad thing that your story board process requires pen and paper. As a matter of fact, even Dr. Christie likes to diagram on paper before creating web pages and such using her computer. Me, I make story boards for everything from moving furniture in my house to shopping at the grocery store. I seem to perpetually have a clipboard at my side. Don't worry, I think it's a good thing to be comfortable with both software programs / ingenuity as well as paper and pencil. There IS that saying, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke." =)
I agree with Nicole. I always take notes using paper/pen and eventually transfer my ideas over to the computer. I think that it all depends on your comfort zone. The tablet software to actually be able to draw your ideas on your computer screen was so creative! I would love to be able to have the opportunity to experiment with this type of software. Get excited about this class!!
I agree that pen and paper is not yet obsolete. However, I do seem to remember being told in the 70's that we were going to be moving towards a paperless society.
In communicating this principle to my students, for me it goes back to the idea of a rough draft. Students can be very reluctant to "draft" and "edit". Depending on their personality, many of them just want to go right to the finish product even though this is not reasonable.
In the end, I agree with your comment that it is important to be comfortable with both formats
Nadeen,
You are so fortunate that you are familiar with the programs that are being presented to us in class. I am a complete novice to all of these programs. I feel quite overwhelmed right now. But, at the end of class, when I have completed all of my projects, I will feel great and ready to celebrate!

Until reading the articles about storyboarding it never occured to me to brain storm and plan before beginning a presentation. I would always just jump right into the project with only the end product in mind. I definitely can see how important story boards can be and how they can help make the process much easier and ultimately have a much better end product.
I too am a paper and pencil person when it comes to planning and storyboarding. I don't know why but in my head I think it helps me be more creative. I kind of wish I was more of an organized planner like nicole. Its amazing that you can do that!!
