Session #3 The Storyboard
Do you remember how a super boring concept suddenly became interesting and memorable because someone used a real life story to demonstrate its relevance? Do you use this strategy in your courses already?
Visualize it! A few (4-6) frames of graphic storytelling can go a long way when it comes to engaging students. Include questions to make your board a conversation piece in your course.
You don’t need to be an artist to create a short story board! We are here to help in a studio, hands-on setting.
Register with a story-able concept in mind.
