Dear Participants,
After a busy week in which many of you created promising 321 Introductions on our Posterous, and Edmodo platform, time has come to welcome all of you to Week2. Now that you’ve become acquainted with the wiki and Posterous, let´s learn how to use comics in your own context to make it relevant for your learners.
Before starting take a look at the main objectives for week 2:
● become familiar with web tools to create comics with young learners.
● learn how to create comic stories with these tools.
● reflect on the use of comics in the classroom
● explore ways to integrate comics in their classroom in ways that improve reading and writing skills of learners
● discover mobile apps for creating comics
● create a comic using one of the tools from this week
Please check our Tutorial page http://digitalstorytelling4kids.pbworks.com/w/page/49859728/Tutorials%20Week%202 to learn how to use the following comics Garfield, ToonDoo, Make Beliefs and Cartoon Studio (iPhone/iPod/iPad app).
Remember to post your comic on the Posterous page by sending an email with the link to digitalstorytellingevo2013@posterous.com
This week we are going to use the Week 2 Discussion on the wiki http://digitalstorytelling4kids.pbworks.com/w/page/62859014/Wk%202%20Discussion instead of Edmodo. Please add your comments or suggestions below.
Be ready to jazz up your classes with comics and remember that we are always here to help if you have questions.
Looking forward to sharing another wonderful week together.
