Storyboarding

Kasey Hancock submitted a video to a contest that supports technology in education. She was awarded first place and recieved a $300 prize for her school, and a goody bag for herself. The video was about her cat Snickers, and what Snickers would do if the family left it behind while they went on a vacation. The video, titled, "Snickers' Winter Vacation," won the 'Show me your community' award, where 74 videos were submitted.
I think the contest concept is such a great idea to help incorporate technology and education.
This contest is a great way to show how using education and technology has rewards, not only for your school, but for yourself, as a student.
However, I believe that more research and investigation would have been useful to help determine why storyboarding was used in the first place, and how is was effective.

I agree with you this contest was a good way to use technology and education. I think storyboarding is a great addition to classrooms.
