Tar Heel Reader

http://tarheelreader.org/ Developed at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, this tool allows creation of a captioned slide show for beginning readers, with features designed for accessibility (text to speech, reader selected font and background colors) and offers downloads of stories in PowerPoint, Flash, and Impress Format. Pictures can be used directly from flickr, and the tool tracks the photo credits.

Example: Biography

http://tarheelreader.org/2009/04/20/stevie-wonder/

 

TikaTok

https://www.tikatok.com/login

 

Example: http://www.tikatok.com/view/pick/musician-from-the-heart

Sign up for a free account. The site is designed to allow children to create their own story books, which can be shared or printed as a real book (since the time this site was created, Tikatok was bought by Barnes & Noble). Images or drawings can be uploaded, arranged, and placed within text.
The tool provides much of the structure to make it book-like- including title pages, places to feature author names, etc

Before the student starts, you can click on Print Worksheet and use it as a storyboard. Additional, unused pages can in the book can be deleted.

Unfortunetly, the book can not be printed. Even the digital version costs 2.99.

Comic Writing With Make Beliefs Comix

YouTube tutorial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqTt5327UAc

Have you ever thought about introducing comic strip writing into your classroom? If you haven’t you may change  your mind after you take a look at http://www.makebeliefscomix.com.  Make Beliefs Comix was introduced to me by Dan Papa, MS Social Studies teacher in our district. After spending some time exploring this new resource i felt compelled to share it with you.

 

 

This site allows any user to create a multi-strip comic. There are a number of characters, emotions, thought bubbles,speaking balloons and background colors to choose from. Students can organize the characters on each strip and add text. They have some controls with regards to layout of the characters within the strip.

 

After adding the content to the comic the students have the option to print the final comic or email it. By using the print screen command on the keyboard the students can also paste the comic into word or PowerPoint.

 

This site has a number of applications for education. The website has a page of resources that lists 21 classroom integration ideas. Some of my favorites are listed below:

• Have students create a comic as a first day back project to discuss their summer.
• Students create a comic that depicts a conversation between characters in a story or historical figures.
• Teachers create comics with various emotions to teach behaviors to special needs students.
• Students create a comic to kick off a creative writing assignment.
• Students create a comic using new vocabulary words that are being taught.
• Students in a world language course may create a comic that contains text written in the language studied.
• Have students create a comic to demonstrate knowledge of life skills such as speaking with a bank teller, ordering at a restaurant, speaking with a doctor or going on an interview
