Awesome!!! I loved this website. The characters are created. The ease of use to manipulate the scenes is simple. The best thing is that the students are able to use their own voice to make the characters come alive.
On a slow Friday after the normal tests were completed I had the students go into the computer lab and create some comics. They loved it. Usually when I take them in to the lab and tell them that we are going to do some creative writing, the boys begin and minor revolt. I usually have trouble keeping them focused on their tasks at hand.
This time it was different they went into the lab and I shared with them a quick tutorial about the website, and turned them loose. It was great. They were trying to outdo each other and spent some serious time developing their characters. Now can I just get a reproduction of this on ISTEP!
The best part is once the students finished the projects they just emailed it to me. It also required them to put the first and last name, something I rarely get on any thing turned in to me.
This link shows an example a student created, and I do hate tapping!
Thanks Mr.Cowley for being my teaher I remmember those comix i still get on that website thanks for teaching me what i have never learned i had the best school year!
