Storyboard That

Overall Opinion: StoryboardThat is terrible. It deletes all your work and forces you to pay for every small thing. It is almost as bad as Hapara.

Pros: -

Cons: -

Overall Opinion: While rote memorization and lectures can be a powerful learning tool, evidence suggest that a large part of the population respond most effectively to visual learning. Storyboard That strives to make the most of this phenomenon by providing instructors in a range of disciplines with the tools to build engaging and educational narratives tailored to the specific needs of their students. The tools available through a Storyboard That account can be used effectively by teachers, business presenters, and filmmakers to tell stories without having to draw from innate artistic talent or rely on expensive and difficult to learn software. On the surface, the Storyboard That framework is deceptively simple. But the strength of the software is that it's limited only by the imaginations of those involved. You start with a base of three simple cells - like in a newspaper cartoon strip - and drag and drop a variety of characters and objects into these cells. The drag and drop interface is clean and easily labeled without having to rely on overly explanatory menus or icons. Options are broke into categories like scene backgrounds, characters, and speech bubbles, and these are broken down into further subcategories that give users the granular control they need without overloading their senses. It's simple enough for children of an elementary school level but robust enough for business leaders working on office instructional materials. These are further complemented by the ability to upload your own images. Altogether, there's enough material to tell a basic version of practically any store. Buttons beneath the storyboard allow more specific functionality like the ability to change the layout, copy, and add panels. For users looking to learn the fundamentals of comic book staging, an advanced layer of functionality allows you to play with more complicated options like unconventional panel sizing and panel transitions. Storyboard That is versatile to work in a wide range of environments, and that's why they offer different packages focused on the specific needs of their prospective clients. The educational plans largely turn an eye towards the collaborative components of the website and emphasize the ways in which educators can creatively communicate ideas and students can stretch their imagination. Monthly payments can be scaled to the specific size of a classroom or an entire school, and the functions can be shared directly with students who can then access the room's storyboards through their own computers and personal devices. Finished or in progress storyboards can be turned into slideshows of PowerPoint presentations or printed out for sharing with the class. Storyboard That also offers lesson plans and curriculum to help teachers better incorporate the technology into their classrooms. For businesses, the Storyboard That technology is an ideal way to educate employees, workshop new ideas, or present concepts to investors or clients. Like the educational version, the business plans have pricing scaled to the number of users and are presentation ready. The business plan also offers robust security options to help users keep their ideas safe.

Pros: A visual alternative to traditional learning techniques Image importing improves the options available to you Payment plans scale to your specific needs

Cons: Missing features of some of the more high-scale storyboarding software used in film programs Pricing can become expensive with large numbers of users
