PİXTON: CREATE YOUR OWN COMICS ONLINE!

Hello everyone,

In this task, i worked with my friend Seçil for the website evaluation and the presentation of it.

I am here to introduce you a website where you can create unusual comics as you wish. Pixton has three options designed for its users according to their purpose. These can be grouped as:

Pixton for fun allows its users to modify their comics and share them with their friends.

Pixton for schools allows for a private and secure place where teachers are able to moderate creations of students and publish them.
Lastly, pixton for bussiness also allows for a private space and the ability for users to add chracters, expressions, body postures etc.
PS: After 50 day-trial duration, pixton for schools can be used through a school code which is paid for.

Let's talk about the reason why it is used worldwide. Firstly, pixton has great variety of backrounds, facial expressions, body postures. Users also costumize whatever they select as their wish and thanks to, pixton users have a chance to boost imagination.
-Users can browse the other people's creations to get ideas on the same topic.
-Users can comment and receive comments on their creations.
-Users can save a comic, print it, download it, embed it on a blog.
-Lastly, users can rank it as funny, artistic etc. or add it on a list of favorites.
On the other hand:
-Teachers can create classroom accounts, projects for students.
-Teachers can evaluate students' works via rubric.
As a result of these factors a collaborative atmosphere occurs and students are encouraged to share ideas. Also, pixton is appropriate for different learning styles and strategies.

How Pixton can be integrated in the language classroom?

-Students can create different scenes of their lives while narrating them.
-Students can transform a play or short story into a comic.
-Students can fill the empty speech bubbles or scenes that teachers create for them.
 Here is the screenshot of the comic that we created for the task:

You can find the complete version of it via the link.

As a pre-service teacher, i really love this website and certainly apply into my classroom because it can be used in both traditional classrooms and technology-integrated ones. In that way, i can also save my lesson from being an ordinary duty and make it fun.

Finally here is the tutorial video of our comic:

Enjoy! :)
