It's part comic book, part how-to build, create, and explore new things
And got to thinking that it just might be the thing
We need to incorporate to understand how to solve systems of equations in Algebra.
I love the idea!
And I think we can use Comic Life to construct it.
The only thing I'm not sure of is how do I get the "super heroes"?
I can see some playing around with HowToons in my future!
After playing around, here's what I found...
~ ToonDoo is a free public site, or for a fee you can become a member of the school site
Love this blog! So many resources!
~ WittyComics...create a comic with two character dialogue
~ Super Hero Squad Show...templates to create a comic strip or book that can be downloaded
~ Write Comics ...no registration, free templates
~ BeFunky...change photos into comic characters (It's also an iPad app)
~ Chogger
~ From Free Technology for Teachers...Favorite Resources, Free eBooks
~ Browse infographics around the web using visual.ly
My first attempt...combining Write Comics with Comic Life on the laptop.
2. After putting the screen shots into my iPhoto library, I chose a Comic Life template, and inserted the pictures into the template.
3. I then added the math content of explaining how to solve a system of equations by substitution.
After analyzing a few more HowToons I added numbered steps so the process is easy to follow.
1. How-To build, create, or as our math class dictates, how to solve.
2. Color
3. Cartoons
4. Numbered Process
5. Themed pictures to content
Some writecomics.com How-To's that I learned from my students!
1. To delete a character...double click.
2. To type in dialogue...pick a dialogue box, click on it in the screen and a dialogue box appears below the screen.
3. Lots of options! You can choose from a large list of people, props, aliens, and animals.
This is a great idea!! Do you sell/share your cartoons anywhere - TPT?
