Week 3 Thing 6

Texting Trouble
http://www.toondoo.com/

My students love to use technology. They spent hours scouring the web looking for pictures for their Avatar when I first introduced them to Edmodo. I can only imagine the amount of time they would be willing to spend on toondoo.com

Not all students like to demonstrate their learning in the same ways. Some students like to draw pictures to show the meaning of vocabulary words while others like to write a story using the words with context clues. In the past I have had students make a simplistic hand drawn comic strip to help them in the writing process for a narrative prompt. Since not all students draw well, this website will help them in the planning process to think about adding the setting and character traits.

Students love to share their creations and comment on what others have made. It is interesting to also see how outsiders view our projects.
