Using Comics in the Classroom

By Anonymous -
Happy FRIDAY!!

Are you looking for an alternative way for your students to write a story?  This week I read about a great Comics site called makebeliefscomix .  Students are able to create their own comics using this site. The site is available in many different languages.   Below is a tutorial that walks you though oof this digital tool. I think that this is a very valuable tool  that all students can access. If you have questions about this please let me know.

Have a great weekend,
Clint
