The Idea
 |
| ToonDoo is a cool, comic-creating tool, a fun site for kids. They can create their own comic strips with just a few clicks or drag and drop. |
They had seen ToonDoo at the BE-STREAMING Festival. and the liked it.
So it was time to get them to work.
Work independant
I had a lot of work to do also and thought the best thing would be to have them learn and create on their own.I searched for a short tutorial and helped them create their accounts for ToonDoo.
Instructions
When they were finished watching the tutorial, I gave them these basic instructions :- Start simple with one or two rectangles
- Choose a background
- Choose the people or properties
- Place the text.
Monitoring and guiding
While I was doing my work, I often went to see what the were doing. They were busy trying and needed some help also. I guided them on choosing and placing objects and publishing.They were very exited and had spent hours creating some Comic Strips the first day. They were even more exited when I told them they would print it if it can be useful in their class.
Results
Here are some of the Comic Strips they created:
They have made a some grammar and spelling error's, but I decided to leave it for the moment. I do believe they will correct these soon.
Goals
My goals were met. I wanted them to do some educational activity.The objective were:
- learn toondoo by watching tutorial
- create simple comic strip about math or reading.
Next
I also explained how they could use the Comic Strips to create a book for a particular subject.Now their assignment as a challenge is to create Books with ToonDoo's for Math and Reading.
