Comic Strips are an awesome way to tell a story and engage students. After playing around with Pixton last week, I decided to do my tutorial on Pixton.
Step 1: Go to the website
Click the link above to go to the website's homepage. Then, click the "Sign Up" button at the top right corner.
Step 2: Sign up and create an account
Your next step will be to create an account as a student or teacher. ( I chose to make a teacher's account, but I should make both to see the students' facing aspect.)Once you make your account, you will end up on this page. Here, you have several options:
Create Tab
- Comic Maker
- Avatar Maker
- Classrooms
- Staff Photos
- Content Packs
Four other tabs are Resource, My Classroom, My Characters, and My Comics.
Step 3: Head to Comic Maker
You can create your own avatar if you want to add your own. It is very limited if you don’t become a paid member. The avatar can be added to your comic strip. Once you begin, you will have many different background options. You can also upload your own picture to add your background.
Step 4: Create a Comic
Now that you're in the comic maker, begin to explore. There's so much you can do besides changing the background. You can add characters, objects, words, focus, facial expressions, and different actions for your characters. You can also add panels and make your comic as long as you want.
Step 6: Save and Name your comic
Once you are done creating, you can click 'Done" in the top left corner. Then, you will be able to name your comic properly.
Step 7: exporting your comic
Side note: You can access the interactive rubric to grade your comic in the space.
However, to export any comics, you must be a paid subscriber to print, share, and download comics.
