I have never had training in creating a digital storyboard, or how to guide students in creating a fully digital product. Maybe you could suggest some things on Atomic Learning that could help get me started.

You can also talk to me about how to approach a project like this. Just let me know.
Digital microscope camera? I submitted a request to Germaine this summer and told her you had mentioned the possibility of ordering one through technology budget- where do we stand on this? They are only about $100.
You and Mark need to get together and figure out what you each want and then present it to me and we'll see what we can do.
