MakeBeliefsComix
It’s easy and fun to create & save comic strips when you
access this website. Something cool that I like is that it gives you the option
of author’s name, so everyone can know who created the comic strip. They have
many characters, lesson plan ideas, homeschool and family fun. They even have
an option for different languages. Students from all over the world can use
this website.
Pixton
Pixton is another website where you can create & save comics
easily . Something cool about this website is that you can create your
character, including face emotions. This website contains different sections
where you can browse or preview your own comics or other comics. It has another
tab to create a comic book. You can invite your friends. It has a discussion
forum and many other cool features. Something that I didn’t like is that you
cannot change the character, once you create your character, it will appear on
all the comic strip.
ToonDoo
ToonDoo is a place where you can create comics. This
particular website contains many features, different characters and
backgrounds to put in your comic strip. It was easy to save my comic strip. Here you
will find favorite, most popular, recent and viewed comics. You can also create
a comic book. It has a section for the most admired and the editor’s pick. Overall
this is very complete website where students will find everything to create the
perfect comic strip. This was my favorite!
Incorporating comic strips into teaching is very interesting.
Students will have fun at the same time as they are learning new stuff. The three
websites above are very easy to navigate and students will easily be able to
start using the websites.
How to use a comic strip in the
classroom:
1. To practice vocabulary words
2. To create an autobiographical comic strip
3. To introduce creative writing
4. To strengthen conflict resolution skills
5. Just for fun (as a reward)
I also created a Gami. Tellagami is an app that lets you
create and share a quick animated message called a Gami.
