Story Boarding for Digital Stories

Storyboards, originally developed at the Walt Disney studio after the late 1920s (OPPapers, 2010), are graphic organizers used to visualize illustrations or images used in the creation of various forms of multi-media (Wikipedia, 2009).  The process of storyboarding is defined as, "A highly interactive, visual process that combines both creative and analytical thinking, also known as displayed thinking" (McGartland, ND).  

To learn more about the history of storyboarding, view the following video titled, "Finding Lady: The Art of Storyboarding".



There are many ways to create a storyboard.  The following video identifies some steps on "How To Make a Storyboard" (Crosby, 2009).
