Comics

Evaluation of MyToonDoos:

I enjoyed using My ToonDoos. It was easy to registrar and set up an account. It was easy to set up and create a comic without a lot of fuss. After about 10-15 mins I was able to go through each tool on the bar and create/move the characters around on the slide. There were a variety of human, animal and objects to put in the comic. I had no problem adding color and backgrounds to each slide. I was able to download and save to my computer without any issues. The best part was all tools were set up on the screen. If someone wanted to really be create it was even a pen to draw in the slides with different colors. One of the most useful tools was the ability to resize and enlarge the objects on each slide. The tool bar even allowed one to download your own pictures. I think this could be useful to actually put my face in the slide or my students. I can see how useful this would be for math word problems and using the students and familiar objects as part of the problem. 

The students would enjoy using this particular program. I think the learning curve with be fine and the students could easily create many comics for science, social studies, reader response, and may activities to show understanding of any content area.
