3. Who I am, and Why I Created Storyboard That
I’m not a normal EdTech Founder
I have a Bachelors in Management and a Masters in Computer Science
I worked for 10 years in Corporate in Boston, Barcelona, and Sydney
No matter what country I was in, or what department I worked in I saw the same problems again and again. (I also noticed I was not immune to the same areas for Personal Growth)
I organized my thoughts into “The 3 Cs”
Critical Thinking
Communication
Collaboration
I created Clever Prototypes in March of 2012 to create solutions and tools to help everyone with the 3Cs.
The first product we launched was Storyboard That, with the idea of using “Visual Frameworks” to organize, structure and communicate ideas
We have since launched Photos For Class to easily, quickly and safely find the perfect photo
EdTech and 20/20
Knowing the needs of teachers and learning about “Graphic Organizers” it is very obvious why Storyboard That was quickly a classroom favorite

5. Storyboard That in a Nut Shell
Storyboards are a highly flexible graphic organizer
With a few minutes of thinking storyboards are highly adaptable to most lessons
Storyboard That makes creating storyboards easy and fun
Allowing for “Education through the back door*”
Storyboard That makes presenting and sharing storyboards a breeze
Communication and collaboration don’t happen without sharing
* Carla Beard from Web English teacher gave me that term and said I could borrow it!
