Thing #19 part 2

I chose to play with Comiqs, which won 3rd place for Fun Stuff. Comiqs lets you create your own comic strips using photos, either ones they provide or your own. The amount of people that have created and posted their own comics is unbelievable. I think Comiqs would be a great tool in the library or classroom. A librarian could use it to create signs for the library to promote new books, book fairs, and other programs. I think students would get a kick out of creating their own comics. Creating a comic using Comiqs could be a easy and simple project to help end an unit.

The part that I liked the best was after you created your comic and published it, Comiqs gives you the option of posting it in different spots - blogger, flickr, etc.

I started my own comic called The Question of the Day. The first one is just below this post.

I know this isn't on your thing #19 but I really like your shelfari and I just got one of my own from your inspiration! I appreciate all of your insight on your posts! I am up to thing #12. I've been trying to catch up with you but have had 1 sick child last week and the other one this week. You'd think that would give me more time, but unfortunately it kept me from going to the computer lab to get work done. See you in class in a couple of weeks.
