Toondoo is a cool, comic-creating tool for kids. There a number of functions that
allow you to create, personalize and publish your cartoons.
Illustrations have a number of possible benefits to learning. Some concepts,
especially in the sciences, can be difficult for students understand textually, but are
better communicated in pictures. Illustrations can be used to get students attention
and increase their emotional interest in a topic. Other illustrations can be used to
summarize or rephrase information and help students build their framework of
understanding.
There are even more benefits to be gained by having students create their own
cartoons in class. By creating cartoons, students:
Interpret a concept from verbal/textual form (provided by teacher) to visual form
(created in ToonDoo)
Organize science concept to fit a limited-panel representation
Create their own new, unique representation of an idea
Appreciate the difficult scientists encounter when trying to communicate
