Web 2.0 Tool of Choice

I signed up for a free 30 day trial at [|www.pixton.com/uk]. I have not had the chance to use this tool to its fullest capacity. I have created a cartoon, but the teacher has the power to add students to the site, grade the student’s comics, and, once the comic is approved by the teacher, it is added to the student gallery where the class can see the comic and make comments. This is an awesome tool where students can work individually or in groups. It is easy to differentiate instruction and meet the needs of students with special needs. The student has the ability to create a very basic comic or a more complex comic. The teacher can circulate and provide students with extra help if needed and students that need extra help can be paired with a partner or group that can provide extra assistance. My tool supports the following standard:

SSKE1 The student will describe the work that people do (police officer, firefighter, soldier, mail carrier, baker, farmer, doctor, and teacher).
