Comic Creator
I created this assignment for my Web Design class when viewing the differences between designing websites using Notepad vs. Dreamweaver and it turned out to be a huge success. After students created a website by writing their own html codes in Notepad and then again creating the website in Dreamweaver, I had students create a comic strip using Comic Creator explaining which program they prefer and why. It gave the students an opportunity to write their answers in dialogue form, rather than a usual paragraph response. They were able to choose a background, characters, props, and actual dialogue. Comic Creator can be used for a variety of topics and definitely keeps students entertained! Here are two examples I received from my classes:

This looks like a very cool site and a great alternative way for students to share what they know about a subject or topic!! I played with it a bit and although it is a bit clunky and rather basic, that's okay!! I think my kids could really have some fun with it, much like your kids did! I could see using this for several topics or projects, and it certainly helps meet those CCS's!
ReplyDeleteDante,
ReplyDeleteI agree it is a bit basic, but it was the only comic making site that my district allows to be filtered. Sad, yes, because there were so many other comic makers I wanted to use. If you wanted to use something like this, just Google comic maker and you will find a lot that are much more entertaining! haha
