Check out our Help Center for detailed instructions on how to post assignments.

What will my students see when they click on the assignment link?

When students click on the assignment link, they will be brought directly to their assignment page. They will have access to the rubric, the instructions, the blank template(s), and if enabled, the completed example. Note: teachers can decide whether or not to show the completed example on their assignment page.

In order to see the assignment exactly how your students will see it, you can click on the green tab on the assignment page that says, “view as student”.

How do I create a rubric?

Most of our premade activities come with rubrics that you are free to use and edit, saving you the time and effort of making your own from scratch. However, if you prefer to make your own, you can make rubrics from Quick Rubric for free.

More Frequently Asked Questions about Teacher Resources!

How do I differentiate activities?

One very simple way to differentiate your or our premade activities is to add multiple templates to the assignment. You may want to have one template with space for a lot of writing, one with no writing, one that has a cell already completed, one that has writing already done and students just have to add images, etc. You could also include a variety of template layouts for students to choose from, or provide templates with fewer cells to complete. The options are endless!

Check out our educational article on Differentiated Instruction with Storyboard That!

Can students collaborate on an assignment?

They sure can! Real-time collaboration is one of best and newest features. To allow students to work together on the same storyboard, teachers must click on the “allow students to collaborate on this assignment” button on their assignment page.

Check out our Help Center for more detailed instructions on student collaboration. You can also check out our article on Real-Time Collaboration for more information and video tutorials.

How do I create an assignment from scratch?

Our assignment wizard makes creating an assignment as easy as 1, 2, 3! Simply click on the “create my first assignment” or “create another assignment” button from your teacher dashboard. Follow the wizard through the process by clicking the “next” button as you complete each step. If you don’t have a template or example to add to the assignment, you can always go back and add them once you have them in your storyboard library. You are able to edit any part of your assignment at any time.
