3. Online comics - Pixton
There are a number of online comic makers coming online recently. The latest one that I have learned about is Pixton. What sold me was the trailer. It could be an alternative way to encourage creative writing, but without too much strain on the writing.
Interactive web comics are a great way to engage and motivate students with creative writing. Our remix feature makes a copy of the comic so you can change it or continue its storyline. Teachers can use this feature to have their students develop a visual essay, create storyboards, reinvent characters or reinterpret narratives - the creative and artistic possibilities are endless.
We always welcome feedback - feel free to contact us with your comments or suggestions.
