Online comic books

Online tools such as Pixton.com can provide teachers with an opportunity to really engage students, challenge whilst at the same time ensure that they progress. These type of websites also allows exam groups to think about:

- audience
- purpose
- context
- argument

There are similar websites available like ToonDoo.com. This particular website allows the user to quickly register and then produce high-quality and varied comics in only a few minutes. Although there are very few differences between Pixton.com and ToonDoo.com, the latter offers more in terms of usability, graphics and sleekness. I have used both sites with both GCSE and A-Level groups with great results .
