Well... somehow we did it. We created a math story and board for our student. The program was rather interesting to use... a few glitches and some creative thinking, but somehow we managed.
I can see how it important it would be to take your time when introducing a dynamic board to a student. I found it difficult to remember all of the icons, etc. on all of the different layers. It's amazing what these students do to be able to communicate!
As we were creating our story I was thinking about the complexity involved in creating it from a mathematics standpoint. Specifically, what is the concept that you want to introduce? What language will be used? As we worked through the program Barbara had mentioned that it is a little more difficult to create math stories using Boardmaker Plus. It would be interesting to create stories with the other programs that she suggested.
On another note, I really enjoyed watching the other presentations on invented AT devices. Such creativity and it was all very pragmatic.
Wow! I commend you on thinking to do a math storyboard. We had a hard enough time and we stuck to questions that would require only yes or no answers. Creating a math story board must take a lot of thinking out before you begin the programming. Good on you!
