Having looked through some of the teacher blogs on the Web 2.0 wiki I was very interested in the comic maker website (toondoo) mentioned by Sue. She has made her own comic strip about her exercise regime which I thought was great. I decided to have a go myself and found that it was pretty straight forward and I can imagine that making comic strips would capture the interest of many students. Mine (called I Love Technology) is not nearly as funny as Sue's but I guess it's all about having a go.
Try it yourself! http://www.toondoo.com/
One word of warning though - when I first looked at the site and read some of the comics that had been made public there was one comic that included some expletives so you just need to be vigilant when using the site with students.
Hi Cara,
ReplyDeleteLove reading your posts too. It's actually advantageous that you're quite a bit ahead of me in the course (I'm still looking at GoogleDocs in Module 3) as your insights are very interesting and USEFUL!
The tondoo site is quite good, isn't it? I think that kids would love it!!
