When creating the comics and cartoons, I immediately remembered a training I recently had. The presenter suggested we incorporate create ways for teaching curriculum. Cartoons and comics are the prefect outlet for students to express their creativity and understanding of a topic. I can implement comics to check for understanding. I've created three cartoons that have content that most students have difficulty on.
The site was relatively easy to use, but on the free version you could only make two cartoon characters. I liked that you could edit the size of the character and edit the facial expression. Pixton cartoons were easy to save; in one click the site gave me options to share my cartoon. I was having difficulty embedding the image.
ToonDoo
I felt ToonDoo was a bit more complicated to use. There were too many choices in characters and backgrounds. It took a while to navigate through the images. The site was user friendly but the save button wasn't clearly displayed. It took me a while to find the button.
MakeBeliefComix!
First of all, I felt the website was the easiest out of the three. I liked that this site did not need a log in. The students could create a comic and email it to themselves. I've noticed a lot of the time my students do not have email addresses. I thought the images of the characters and backgrounds were a bit limiting. I feel students would like this site because it's so easy to create and save a comic.
