I’ve had such fun again this week with the assignment for edtechcc. The aim was to create a comic describing a practical task. I’ve cheated a little and adapted the idea to create a comic strip of exam preparation tips for my GCSE students. Pixton is a cartoon-making tool suggested by this mashable article. I had never heard of it before but I am extremely impressed. It’s very versatile, intuitive to use and includes great instructional videos on the site. You can easily change the facial expressions of the characters and quickly move body parts around to create an attractive story. There’s a good range of backgrounds and props to use. Best of all I see there’s an educational version – which I am definitely going to be using in the future! I spent about 3 hours on the assignment in total and loved every minute.
