Week Six: March 1-7 (Pixton)





Today we will finish up with any additional web-quests that need presenting and then we will answer questions for the blog as well as posting pictures and screen-shots on your blog site.
We also took a look at a fun comic-creation website and gave some experience with story-boarding and heard ideas of how the site can be used in connection with a lesson.  


First we had to..1) Log onto www.pixton.com and sign up for "fun" account (not school).
2) Create a 3-6 frame comic that would promote technological literacy to students.
3) Use as many characters and editing tools as possible.
4) Share with the rest of the class and explain also how you might use this site as a learning tool for your future classroom.  How will you connect it to a lesson? Explain your ideas!

We were given the option to work by ourselves or with 1 (ONE only) partner.

On a scale of 1-10, I would rate the assignment as an 8. I would do the assignment again. I would not do the assignment differently. Just wished we had more time to work on it because I know the comic would be a lot more animated. My experience with using the software was good, it was very user friendly and the challenges at first was it was complicated to get the cartoon to what we want them to look like. Overall, I would use this site in my future classroom.
