Create a comic for learning

Hi,

Today I would like to show you an interesting tool to work in your classroom. It´s a really good way to catch the attention of the students.

In that case I have created a comic to work the relationships. Also I have related with a topic from physical education. I show to my students that a boy, who is new at school is worried because he don´t know anybody. His first day in the school is a Little hard. Little by little he meets Friends. 
Through this topic children can realice that maybe it could be difficult be new, and they can reflect on how to help. It is more attractive for pupils visual tools, also they can fell identified. We can use the avatar that we did before (as you can see in the other post).



I made a comic that I called: MY NEW SCHOOL
I used Pixton to do this. This website is very easy to use and also is free. You have to register on the page and create an account. You can find different sceneries and landscapes that you can use to create the comic. Furthermore you can choose between a wide variety of characters. Depending on what you want you can change the expressions of the face and their postures.

There are different webs where you can make a funny comic. Some of them are the following:

Pixton: https://www.pixton.com
Creazahttps://web.creaza.com/en/
Storyboard that:http://www.storyboardthat.com/es


To sum up I have no hesitation in recommending you the use of this tool because is very attractive for kids and you can teach and work units, values, feelings, problems, etcetera.

EDUCATIONAL INFOGRAPHICS

Hi mates! Today I would like to show you what an infographic is. As I said in my last post, nowadays we have lots of new tools. Our students must be able to develop many competences and for them is very important to learn strategies to organize and analyze their knowledges. Infographic is a tool to create pictures with your computer. How we can do it? It is so easy, you have many webs where you can do it. It is very interesting because our pupils can create a picture with the most important information of one unit, topic or project. In that case I used the infographic with my first graders. I have created a poster with the most important information that we learnt in the first unit of science. I think that is very striking and attractive for them. Also the can learn how to abstract the most important information of a text. Here I would like to give you tips to create a good one.
