I recently had to create a comic strip for my educational technology class. The focus of my comic strip was on my area of concentration which is ESL (English as a Second Language). I used a really great site called Make Beliefs Comix. You do not have to sign in to use this site and best of all it is free!! Our ed. tech professor also provided us with lots of other great free sites to use to create our comics such as PikiKids, Comiqs, Be Funky and many more.
Online comic strip creation would be a great tool that you could use in your classroom. You could have your students use it to explain a new subject that you are studying, like a new math concept, history lesson or science project. If you are an art teacher you could spend time on comic strips and have students create their own. Also if you are an English or writing teacher you could use comic strips to help students practice writing a story or work on their persuasive writing skills by making the comic some sort of advertisement. Any way that you choose to use it, it is a great way for students to use their creativity and have a little fun at the same time!
