Web Tools and Apps (1) in the Language Classroom (EDCI 718, SP2015)


Any Carton Tool is a creative way for students to share their knowledge, apply and make it relevant to their own life. Toondoo.com is one of those free tools. It can be used on PC, MAC, and any handheld gadget despite its operating system. It's very easy to use, drag and drop.



Toondoo is a storytelling tool. Students may use the characters, pictures, backgrounds etc. to cover all standards, except for pronunciation. However, when they present their creation, they even do this then. Toondoos can be saved and incorporated into podcasts, videos, or any other tool that incorporates pictures.

The tool allows for ongoing assessment, as the students apply what they know and can even make re-dos or  continued cartoons as feedback and revisions.

The tool allows for collaboration, however, not in the true sense of real-time collaboration using different machines. The users have to sit at the same gadget and work on their creation.

Toondoos are usable for all and any subject possible.
