PIXTON

Using Pixton, students can create engaging and detailed comics for any subject area. There is a plethora of backgrounds, characters, and props and the site maintains an excellent help feature. This is a fabulous tool to use for retelling stories, changing endings to stories, and sharing research with others (think Power Point or Prezi, but more engaging). An added bonus for users of Google for Education is that Pixton supports single sign-in. Cons: Price. Hopefully, they will come up will a better, meaning more reasonable, pricing scheme. The only other downfalls are that it does take a little bit of time to get the hang of creating the comics and students will need to be supervised closely or they will spend more time creating the comic due to the vast options available than they will be putting together their ideas for the comic.
