Cartooning in Class

Now this is cool! One age old things that kids have always loved are cartoons. They like to watch them on TV, look at them in books and even draw them every chance they get. Why not use the things they love to teach with. www.toondoo.com allows you or students to create comic strips. It can be steps to a math problem or a quick little ditty about School Rules. The projects that can be done with this are endless. I spent about 5 minutes on this site and loved it. I even built a little cartoon of my own in about 5 more minutes.
As with any web site that is used with students, you need to personally preview yourself before hand and monitor the students as they use it. Our district does have policy about students and internet use, so make sure everything you are doing falls into those guidelines. For example: Students should not (must not) put their names or any other student’s names in the cartoons that they may make.
