Toondoo and creating comics online
This is another comic making interactive
online site. This one is called
ToonDoo.
You can make 1-3 page comics using numerous backgrounds and graphics. You
can change the body position of the figures and facial expressions. There
are lots of props and drawing tools to create your own backgrounds. You
can save the comics and publish for everyone to see or you can publish
privately. If you publish for anybody to see then anybody can comment.
That was the only problem with this programme were the comments as they
could be inappropriate for children. Some of the cartoons made by other
people were a little dodgy as well.
The actual editing page is fine but the main home page changes all the time so you are never sure what is going to pop up. But it is still a worthwhile site to use with careful monitoring. Particularly for younger children I would set up the editing page for them, then there is no need for them to see the home page.
There is no download feature which is a shame as it would be great to download the comic and print it whole screen.

But there are always ways around this, you can print out the page when it is
in View mode, cut out the comic and glue on to other paper. Or you can
take a screen capture (Windows: press the Print Screen button on your
keyboard, open Paint, Press Ctrl V and then use the square selector tool to
crop the area you need. Copy paste that piece into the WordProcessor of your
choice) Mac Users press Shift, Ctrl, Option and 4, click and drag around the
comic, paste into your WordProcessor page.Again this is another great interactive writing motivating tool.
