Activity 1 Summary: Group Storyboards
You now will participate in two group activities to help you understand how to map your ideas for online content in Pachyderm format. While the content you will see is focused on items from the Jo and Warren Buxton Art Collection, the kind of interactive web activities you can create with the Pachyderm templates can be used in any discipline. To experience the process of thinking in the lines of Pachyderm like content, we ask that you think like an art faculty member for the first activity. Next, you will have the opportunity to extrapolate the process to your own subject area.
The first small group activity will have you using three of the Pachyderm planning templates/storyboards (Timeline, Comparisons and Variety of Media). We chose these templates because all disciplines can use timelines, comparisons, and a variety of media. We wanted you to work with concepts that are already familiar to you. See all of the other Pachyderm template documents.
Sample Storyboards
