I had never heard of Fotojet before and so far it is user friendly and has lots of neat features you could use to customize your next project. Librarians could use it promote new materials in the library, like the image below. Teachers and other educators could use this website as well in the classroom to create special projects for a lesson or to check for understanding, send announcements; the ideas are endless when using your creativity.
It is free to sign up, but it has limited options available. You can upgrade to access more designs, text, photos, templates and backgrounds.
Heads up! You CANNOT save on the website unless you upgrade. You CAN download for FREE, So download and save to your computer before your sign out.
https://edu.pixton.com/educatorsI had a lot of fun creating the comic strip below. This is such a cool website. I would pay to get the upgraded features for this website. Very easy to work with. Creating the avatars is similar to creating a Bitmoji.
Aside from utilizing this in the library, this website is a great free resource for teachers looking for something new and engaging for students.
* I do not recommend using the website on a phone. It is best to work on a computer or laptop.
Make Beliefs Comix was a bit difficult to learn and get the hang of. Once you get the hang of it and learn all the cool features it could be a really neat resource to use in the library or in the classroom. Compare it to Pixton it has more free options and features.
In the classroom, teachers can use it for getting know their students in the first week of school or create a visual plot for a story read in class. These are just a couple of ideas.
I recommend this for educators who teach upper elementary - high school.
The Comix I created was a get to know you activity "My Biggest Challenge" I made it a bit humorous because we have to laugh at our challenges so it don't devour us. None the less, this website would be good, but become an expert before you assign an assignment to students.
I love how you threw your Bitmojis in there! HEHEHEHE! I think this is the greatest app ever, especially once you get friends to join and then you can include them in the pics! I know this was totally off topic, but had to share! LOL
ReplyDeleteHeehee, "I'm late for duty, again" is the story of my life! Thanks for the comic relief. I found Make Beliefs Comix to be limiting which can be good and bad. Good for those students (like me) who would get lost in all the options provided in Pixton, for example. Bad for those students who struggle with thinking outside of the box since they are unlikely to find exactly what they are looking for.
