P IS FOR PIXTON EDU
October 4th 2020
I really like Pixton for a few reasons. It is a few clicks of the mouse to set up a class account, and it is very simple for the students to join our class. I also love that they technically don't need to share anything with me since I can view all of my students' works in my class account. My students were able to fly through creating comics with these. Because the interface is pretty user-friendly, they could focus most on content which is what is important to me. Students have a lot of creative license with this tool. Like many literacy-based tools, it is opened to be used in all key learning areas. In History, I have seen my students enjoy creating a comic to display the timeline of events. Using timelines and identifying cause and effect is a major aspect of year 6 history. My students have engaged highly to the point where my normally low students have achieved about the standard they needed to meet.
