The tool I used was Make Beliefs Comix.
I used it to created a story on science. This tool will help to integrate art within the science curriculum. The students will be instructed to create comics based on chemical compounds. They will have to use the name of the chemical, it's make up and what happens when they mix it with something else.
I really enjoyed this app because it was super easy to use. It will be very easy to explain to the students as well. Each of the tasks has an explanation of how to use it right on the screen. The Students have a lot of options on creating their comics and would really enjoy them.
This also allows the students to print off their comics and color them in themselves then have them hanging around the room or posted online to the classroom blog.
This website has a lot of possibilities in the classroom, in each subject. Because of it's simplicity it could be used in almost all grades. Older students would enjoy it as well because it is such a hands on activity that still requires thought. The integration of creativity and content based knowledge is what makes it perfect for the classroom.
EXTRAS:
This website is perfect for English language learners, as well as students with disabilities. The website has extra tabs at the bottom of the page for teachers and parents alone. They give information on specific important qualities of children and their disabilities. Some of the information is in the form of comics. Some of the comics are in different languages. When you first begin yuo can also choose Spanish or English.
