Comics @ Mainada : create a comic strip online
http://www.mainada.net/comics/ Comics : create a comic strip online Comics @ Mainada is probably the first web application in the world to allow users to draw complete comic strips directly online. It is free to everyone and can be a great showcast for humor sketch artists to show their art : you can draw online and immediately everyone else in the world with a net connection can see it. It's good for artists that want to show their talent and work and don't know much about creating a website or putting their drawing online and as it's all centralized, you can go there and see other people work and see what's being done recently. On the other hand, it also great to average people that love cartoons and humorist sketches to go and see always new cartoons. web 2.0 |

Comic Creator : Online Interactive Tool
http://www.readwritethink.org/student_mat/index.asp Comic Creator : Online Interactive Tool The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds, characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left). This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment. |
