BP12-Video of MakeBeliefsComix.com Web 2.0 Tool

MakeBeliefsComix.com is a creative Web 2.0 Tool that students may create to discuss current events and grade-related topics. Students will enjoy learning with this tool. Teachers may create examples and non-examples that may be shared through e-mail. Students could produce their own projects concisely from research they conduct online. I like this tool very much for my age-group of teenagers but it is appropriate for students in elementary, middle school or college. Students could use them to make commentary cartoons too. They could use it in character education or intentional interventions training. They could draw their own cartoons and try to use free animation tools as well. The aspect of sharing the comics appeals to teachers and students who are social or need to learn social skills. Mac Tools used in this video include Garage Band Podcasting to create the initial audio track, voiceovers, iMovie Sound Effects and iLife Sound Effects and music from both tools. Text animation, clip volume control and music or track ducking.
