My EL's and Special Ed students that will not write in any other media in computer apps class tell engaging stories through StoryboardThat.

The versatility, feasibility, and simplicity are the features that can make this App attractive for attractive for dyslexic students. I also have been using it with high functioning Autism students and they were very engaged.

I thought this was a great way for the students to express what they had really learned that wasn't just a "presentation" of slides. They not only created scenarios, but got to personalize the scenes and manipulate the characters to how they wanted. They really enjoyed their experience with this product and I enjoyed looking at what they had created, rather then watching slides. It does take a minute to get used to the controls, but once you do, it is a beneficial, creative tool for the students to express themselves. It also, in this activity, creates dialog within the class as to how the "story" could have ended differently.

I really like this tool. It is a great tool to have students apply what they have learned in a creative way. No matter what level you are at you will be able to use this application to synthesize your learning and produce a product. The students are very engaged when they are working on this program because of how easy it is to operate and how much fun they are having designing their comic. Storyboard That can be used in centers, as individual work, or as a whole class assignment. I highly recommend this program! I think the ways you can use this in your classroom are endless!
