Hi
everyone! Welcome to my last post of this academic year! Believe me, i will
continue to share lots of ideas about English in my blog. As for today's post,
i am going to introduce a useful tool called Pixton for your English
teaching. So, What is Pixton? It is an online comic creation tool that allows
your child to be creative and, at
the same time, improve their reading and writing skills with both pictures and words.
Using online comic creator, kids can create professional-looking comic
strips while learning about composition, illustration, and color.Your child may
also collaborate with other members of the Pixton community around the world,
to create comics and stories together.
How to use Pixton? Creating a Pixton comic is quite easy.There are a few basic concepts you should understand before you begin. Each comic you make is made up of a series of panels or scenes. Everything you do to create a comic is clicking buttons or directly clicking on the objects in the panel. What's great about Pixton,you can only see the buttons that relate to what you're doing. So, if i select a character, i will see a different set of buttons to select speech bubble, prop etc. Another key concept to understand is what we call ''modes''. If i click once on a character to select it, i now see five different coloured buttons along the left side of the panel. Each of these buttons switches me to a different character mode. The mode that i select determines what happens when i click on the character. Anyway, you can get more information about this site by watching the video below.
I
think, it is so funny to create comics via Pixton. I strongly recommend you to
use it. Trust me, you will never regret integrating it into teaching and
learning.
