Classroom Comic Strip

Here is my comic strip.

I decided to use bitstrips to create my comic strip to show the meaning of pi in a humorous fashion. I found there were a lot of cool choices and effects for creating the strip. I did look at comiqs as well, however this particular comic strip was not one where I would have wanted to add my own photographs and pictures. I found bitstrips to be user-friendly, with the exception of sizing the objects. Sometimes it grouped objects and made them all smaller and larger at the same time, which was a little annoying. I do like the characters and effects they have for use on the program, however I like how toonlet lets users create their own characters.

This comic strip showing the meaning of pi is something sixth graders would love. When teaching this lesson I read them the story "Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi," which they loved. I now think how cool it would be to have them create a strip showing their own interpretation of pi and it's uses. Idea for next year already!!
