Strip cartoons and easy animations

 

Pixton- http://www.pixton.com/uk/ create single panel, 3 panel or full page comics- students love making them- can be collaborative or individual and be related to a topic under study. Or you can use them to make a point. As you can see from this screen dump below there are a range of sharing options though I have to say the 'embed' code didn;t work on this site. There is a schools option which looks very exciting but, as with a lot of things that ecite, that version comes with a fee.

Or you could use this ‘film’ tool Dvolver: http://www.dfilm.com/live/moviemaker.html  it's  simple interface where you choose backgrounds, scenarious and characters then type in their words. It's a little limited and some of the characters are a bit 'oddly' dressed but I have seen it used well to set up a scenario and even to present the aims of the session.

I did try http://www.xtranormal.com/  xtranormal which promised so much….text to voice for a start but my first project (about 2 hour’s work) crashed. May be worth another fiddle.
