ToonDoo makes creating comic strips easy

Just because all your students aren’t artists, that doesn’t mean they can’t create their own comic strips. ToonDoo makes it easy to create a comic by using stock characters and scenes. If kids would rather provide their own protagonists, ToonDoo makes that a snap, too.
Students can choose from a variety of characters and locales. They can also create their own characters with the TraitR function (the name refers to character traits, as in “trait-er” rather than someone who will tattle on kids for cutting in the lunch line). For more options, kids can use the DoodleR tool to draw directly on the comic panels, or import and manipulate images with the ImagineR function.
ToonDoo has a surprising level of customization that will keep kids creating and imagining. You can use ToonDoo to add some fun to writing assignments, or maybe just to add a little color to your handouts. If your students want to create their own comics, ToonDoo takes care of the drawing. Your pupils just have to provide the laughs.
