Abstract
StoryGrid is a classroom-based design and presentation system for interactive multimedia posters. Employing the technology base first used in Eden's PitABoard, StoryGrid allows groups of learners to manipulate projected multimedia objects on a horizontal board using a small collection of shared physical tokens. In this paper, we present the ongoing design history of StoryGrid in the context of its introduction within an urban high school literature class. Interface modifications based on student and teacher feedback led on changes in token semantics and media importing methods. We describe how StoryGrid features enriched students' interpretations of literature, with particular emphasis in two areas: (1) attention to audience, and (2) reflection of multiple perspectives.
