Day 3: Storyboards

I'm still deciding on a topic for my electronic portfolio. I've visited former EDT 546 student sites
in hopes of sparking some ideas that would be relevant to my curriculum. The last technology class I took was over a decade ago, and I'm a bit worried to say the least.
Tonight's reading on storyboarding has given me some direction. I need to be clear on my vision and concept. Once I do that, I can begin to break down the elements into workable pieces. I'm glad to hear that keeping it simple and communicating simply is one of the rules. I'll write brief notes tonight and expand on my ideas as I piece the frames together. I think I'd like to use PowerPoint to create a storyboard. It seems the most user friendly at this time.
I need to keep in mind that learning involves risk taking and stepping out of your comfort zone. However, I don't mind being asked "How are you coming along?" by an experienced intern.

Margarita,
I think you are on the right track. We need to stay focused and keep it simple and it will all come together. After I read about storyboards last night it did help me to focus and narrow the ideas that I was thinking of creating with each of the tools. So hang in there and I am sure your projects are going to be great!

Margarita,
Please if at any time you need my assistance, let me know or any of the other interns. You sound like you have a pretty good handle on things and you pick up on the new concepts pretty quickly. You have a lot of interns in here that are willing to sit and bounce ideas of with you..
