Before you start

Story Maps are storytelling devices.  In order to create a good Story Map, you need to have a good story, which requires some planning.

Read this blog post by one of our students, for some tips, including "storyboarding."

Three important steps are:

  • Outline your project
  • Find and organize your content
    • Capture urls for images (you might not be able to find it again)
    • Organize images into a folder and rename downloaded images so you know what they are
  • Keep a list of your sources to create a references section at the end.
