Comic Maker--a great story-building app!
I have recently been playing around with a free app called "Comic Maker". It is great in a language class for the purpose of providing students with the option of "writing" a story through the creation of a comic, rather than through traditional paragraph writing. (The creation of a digital comic could either be used as an option for differentiated instruction or as an assigned task for all). The app allows you to select any number of pages with an assortment of layouts of frames and to choose from an assortment of settings, characters, text boxes, colours, symbols, objects, etc. and to insert them into your comic. It is a great hands-on, colourful and creative alternative to having students simply hand write, hand draw or type out a traditional story! As my students are starting to use the app they are finding it easy to use and engaging and I am getting better quality work from some students who normally would not excel at story-writing. :)
