Throughout the completion of the assignment I learned a lot. I decided to personally take all the pictures for the comic strip (with an exception of 3). I quickly learned the importance of staying organized and planning ahead. I had to write out all the camera shots I wanted to get before taking pictures, and I have to write out the story before the creation the comic. I definitely think it helped in the final outcome of the project. When I implement this tool with my own students, I will make sure they write a story and gather all their pictures in a file before they begin to complete their comic strip.
This software has the potential to drive student enthusiasm and enhance their learning! I have showed the comics to my students the last couple of days and they get so excited just to read them! I can't imagine how they would react if they were creating them themselves!
You sure do have to be organized when taking the photos for comic life! I had my students posing in many different ways and took MANY photos! They loved it though.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely a brave woman to have tried it for the first time using your students as "actors". You are correct though, organization is the KEY!!!
