What is Pixton?

-Pixton is a platform that teachers and students can prepare their own avatars and comics, which plays a remarkable role in making learning process enjoyable for students by letting them have fun.Teachers can utilize pixton while giving a lesson or making presentations in classrooms, because pixton lets them give a lesson by visualizing it and it's a known fact that the brain processes things that it sees faster and easily, which indicates importance of pixton in education.I think its use is more appropriate for primary and maybe middle school levels.Teachers can give their students assignments like preparing a story by making comics related to the lesson topic and then give them feedback on pixton.It offers different uses for teachers, students, parents or business on homepage.After registering, there are four chocices presented to you and I will write about them briefly below.

1-Comic Maker: If you haven't made a comic yet and so don't have an idea about what a comic is and how it's supposed to be, pixton will provide you with some examples.You can examine them and have an idea about comics.Then, you will have some choices such as choosing a background, adding as many characters as you desire and speech bubbles, face expressions and actions for each character, adding different objects and determining the focus point, all of which will be enough to prepare comics at simple levels.

2-Avatar Maker: Teachers and students can create avatars that will represent them.These avatars will look in classroom photos or when users complete an assignment.

3-Classroom Photos: Teachers can make classroom photos while creating their classes.Every new student who attends to a class will be added to the general view of the class.(Teachers can also make staff photos to which they will invite their colleagues.)

4-Content Packs: You can take a look at different backgrounds, characters, expressions, actions etc. that can be used in your comics.They can be customized according to different topics and class levels.
