Cartoon and Comics

With kids back to touch with reading comic books such as the Diary of the Wimpy Kid, what better to learn about than how to make some of your own.  The following are some websites to consider using. 

ToonDoo

This comic strip was easy to create.  It did take a while to figure out how to navigate through the different selections.  I do not think students would have a hard time utilizing it at all.  I was pretty easy to save, although I would have preferred to see a save button set aside instead of using a drop down menu.  I would have like to have been able to print out just the comic strip without all of other parts of the webpage.  It did give an option to be able to upload pictures and other clip art so the user is not limited to what is available on the webpage. 



Pixton




This website is by far the easiest to use.  It works a lot like Microsoft Word where you can type and edit at free will.  This makes it a lot easier for students to use because most are familiar with Word.  It was also easy to create and save.  There are a large amount of options of templates to use.  These comics can be created really quickly when needed.  I would definitely recommend this site to use.  It is FREE but does need an account created to use. 



MakebeliefsComics

 

This website is free and does not require registration.  It is easy to create and email yourself or others the created strips.  It was a lot harder to navigate throughout the selections.  It was hard to view them in smaller icons and you had to go through them one by one.  It took a lot longer to create this one. It also did not have an option to upload your own pictures.  Students would be able to use this website but it would be the easiest or the most interesting. 

 

There is also a neat ap called Tellagami.  It is FREE too.  check out mine.
