Steckbrief

Beschreibung

Select one of the many included page templates. Insert photos into the cells. Add a couple of balloons with fun words. Add additional effect symbols (stickers) like "Boom", "Splash", or "Bang" to spice up the story. When you are happy with your new graphic novel, share it with friends and family.

Photos can be added from the camera, your photo-album, or downloaded directly from your Facebook account. You can apply filters to photos, and change the layout of the page to fit your needs. You can even paint on the photos, or draw your own sketches from scratch.

Text balloons can be positioned, sized, and rotated freely on the page. You can alter colors, font, text-size. You can give the balloons color gradients for additional impact.

There are plenty of stickers to spice up the action, but you can also create your own using photos from your photo-album and the built-in masking and drawing tools.

Use warped text with thick borders and gradient color-fill to give your cartoon the super-hero look.

Additional fonts can be installed from the web, so you will only be limited by your own imagination.

While you work, you can freely pan and zoom to control even the smallest details.

Once you have finished your masterpiece you can save it to your photo album, email it to your friends, upload it to Facebook or Flickr, or create a tweet with Twitter and Twitpic

Möglichkeiten für den Unterricht

Chris Williams (Mathematik-Koordinator an der Spring Cottage Grundschule, UK) setzte sich mit unzähligen Apps auseinander, um Möglichkeiten zu finden, den Fortschritt und die Motivation der Schüler/innen zu steigern. Er ist der Meinung, dass das Spiel eine große Rolle beim Lernen spielen kann:

Learning Objective: Demonstrate understanding of objectives/ self-assessment

This comic strip maker is great fun and easy to use. I have used it in lessons by asking groups of children to take the ipad away and create a comic strip demonstrating how to do the work we have been doing that day. I am compiling pages of these comic strips on topics such as how to multiply 2 digit numbers, calculate average and subtract by finding the difference. The standard of the work is high and the children are much better at explaining their understanding of methods in this visual and multimedia way. This app could be used in any subject for countless purposes but is definitely highly effective in demonstrating “What we have learned today."
