Day 3 Creating Storyboards in PPt
Atkinson's, in Create a storyboard, succinctly captures the essence of storyboarding. Atkinson reminds us that the purpose of using this Microsoft tool is to manage the big picture of your own story. He also gives a pitch for the Beyond Bullet Points (BBPs) story template as an instrument for guiding the content of PowerPoint presenting. Curious to know more about BBPs, I downloaded the template. I find the connection to the elements of constructing a narrative story to be an engaging tool for designing a presentation. Atkinson identifies several advantages to this formatting method. One of which, resonates with the discussion held in Dr. Christie's Tech. Learning Lab about the need to actively engage our audience by using SIMPLE, CLEAR, and DIRECT language in a conversational tone (Atkinson, 2003). The mapping of story sequence and structure lends itself to presentation scripting that results in authentic communication. My apologies, colleagues, my Post II should read more like a blog communication than an essay (Post I). Forgive me, I'm in the process of learning blog(ing) (ger) etiquette. Thank you for modelling blogging behavior, EDT 546! :)

Having a clear focus of what to include in your storyboard is important. If you are a creative kind of person who jumps in with the first idea you think of, it is very easy to get side-tracked and lose your focus. Think of content first and not of the features of your storyboard.
Have fun!
Hi!
Yes, and liked Harriet mentioned in her post, storyboarding is the intermediate step, not the first. First comes the idea and vision...
