Instructional Ideas
- Students can explain a procedure using Storyboards 3D. To do so, students could break a procedure down into a series of steps, and then represent each step on its own slide within the app. Each slide should contain an image and applicable text explaining the individual steps that make up the procedure.
- After reading a text, students can demonstrate their comprehension of it by breaking the text down into a series of topics or happenings. Students can then summarize or retell key information for each topic or happening on an individual slide within the Storyboards 3D app. Each slide should include at least one image and applicable description explaining what the image is intended to represent, as related to the text’s topics or happenings.
- Foreign Language teachers can use Storyboards 3D to have students insert images of vocabulary words that they are studying into individual slides. Teachers can then instruct students to explain the different aspects of the word, including its definition, a list of synonyms and antonyms, and an example of how the word is used contextually in a sentence on each slide.
- Students can study any subject and use Storyboards 3D to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the subject. To do so, students must divide the subject into several topics, and then explain each topic on its own slide. The explanations should include both images and text. For example, if plant cells are being studied, a slide with an image and text description can be created for each part of the cell.
