NCLB in the comics

I love Web 2.0 tools and thought I would use ToonDoo, one of the student favorites, to create this cartoon about a funny story from our family. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. It is lots of fun. Our students have created ToonDoo's of vocabulary words, events in American History, New Year's Resolutions, math problems, and more. The commenting feature allows for collaboration and the kids love the chance to be creative and get real feedback. Enjoy! Note, I've posted the comic twice so you can see the two embedding options they offer. One has a scroll bar and one is interactively scrolled.
