TeachersFirst Edge Reviews Pixton

by cs

I love using new tools to show what I know. The TeachersFirst Edge Team always thinks of cool ways to use web 2.0 tools. See their review of this tool at http://www.teachersfirst.com/single.cfm?id=9280 Imagine these: Use comics to write summaries of current events, responses to reading assignments, expressions of teen problems, and creative works of humor. With younger students, use an interactive whiteboard or projector to create a class comic on a current topic of study, such as the life cycle of the frog or ways to conserve energy. Use this site to integrate an art and writing lesson. Why not have students create comics to demonstrate a concept in science or social studies, rather than a traditional paper/pencil quiz? World language teachers will love the chance for students to demonstrate language skills in the “context” of their comic situations.
