How to work with online collaborative whiteboard “miro” as a storytelling tool (www.miro.com)
In the middle of the page, you can find the illustrations of the book “The Arrival” by Shaun Tan.
If you want to use an image, click on it. Now there are two possibilities, you can simply use the “cmd D” keys to duplicate the image, or search for duplicate in the pop-up menu.
Drag the image to one of the coloured bars. If you are creating Story 1 your colour is green (Story 2 is dark blue, Story 3 is pink, Story 4 is dark green, Story 5 is yellow, Story 6 is light blue).
If there are different illustrations on a page and you want to use only one, you can crop the page.
Click on the image, push “Enter” to crop and enlarge image.
Add all the images you need to tell your story.
If you want to show your story to others, use the left toolbar to draw a frame around the images.
Click on the lower left corner; a toolbar will pop-up.
Click on the second icon to present.
…. and share your story ….
