Storyboard That is a great tool that can be used for creating cartoons, flowcharts, timelines, and wireframes in addition to typical storyboards. Storyboard That also offers a huge library of lesson plans on everything from classic literature to history to cyber safety. One of those lesson plans is about helping students set and reach SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Action, Realistic, Time.

The SMART goals lesson plans are designed for use in middle school settings. Each of the five lesson plans focuses on a different aspect of the goal setting and goal reaching processes. A significant component of any goal setting process is being able to identify and visualize the steps needed to reach a goal. That’s where Storyboard That shines as it helps students create a clear picture of the steps they need to take in order to reach their goals.


Applications for Education

As the school year begins and you’re talking with students about their aspirations for the year, using the SMART goals lesson plans could provide a great way to frame those conversations.

On a related note, Storyboard That is the online comic tool that I’ve used longer than any other. The tutorial that I made about it ten years ago is still accurate on a basic level. Ten years later there is much more that you can do with Storyboard That.
