TeachPaperless: Thank you, Teachers

A comic strip about memory and gratitude.

In a dream I was floating through space...

TeachPaperless is 'Featured' on Pixton!

Just got a message from the folks at Pixton. I'm a 'Featured Author' this month! Ya-hoo!

Friends of this blog know that I'm a Pixton junkie. I've seen students do some pretty incredible things in the last six weeks using the digital comic templates.

Check out my Pixton profile, sign up, and try it out for yourself. Fun and educational, go figure.

TeachPaperless: Storyboarding with Pixton

Perhaps my kids are not the only ones...

... addicted to Pixton.

A reader writes:

I find Pixton to be, not a substitute for drawing, but a complement to it. To a serious artist, it is a quick way to try out scenes and poses (and color combinations), and it stimulates creativity. I have not yet found Pixton's limits.

I like the idea here that it "stimulates creativity". In other words, although it could be, Pixton is not in and of itself necessarily the end-product. Like the best aspects of Web 2.0 technology -- as well as the best practices for the classroom -- it is open, flexible, and ongoing. It's an ideal brainstorming tool; and in a sense, to use it is to take part in a visual brainstorming exercise.
