User Guide - My Folder
4. My Folder
The tab labeled My Folder servers as a project folder that contains the images that the student has selected. It also allows the student to rearrange the images in different orders, serving as an extemporaneous storyboarding tool.
The Write tab has two columns: (1) the right-hand column provides a word processor for creation of the story script, and (2) the left-hand column provides a space for placement of images beside the text. To add an image to the story:
- Select the Write and My Folder tabs so that both
are simultaneously displayed (one on each side of the screen).
- Drag an image from the My Folder project screen to the column to the left of the draft text in the word processor.
The first image will click into place at the top of the column at the left of the text as it is dragged into place from the resources folder on the right-hand side of the screen. Subsequent images can be placed at the desired location beside the text with which they are associated.
The placement of images in the column can also be rearranged. After images are placed to the left of the text in the word processor, they can be moved up or down to fine tune the portion of the script for which the image will be displayed when the movie is played. (Note that the words associated with each image are highlighted in red as the image is moved up or down.)
Removing Images from the Story
To remove an image from the story, drag it back into the MyFolder space. This will remove it from the story.
