Abstract

This poster considers the use of storyboards, in a classroom setting with children in the 8-12 age group. The storyboarding method allowed children to both generate and evaluate scenarios for a virtual world populated by synthetic characters for exploring bullying issues. This approach has assisted children in the process of visualising agent design and verbalising opinions. It has resulted in design implications that have emerged from enabling children to have a voice in the technology process.
