Wiki

My group and I finished up our Wiki last week and it was definitely a fun experience getting to see the Web 2.0 resources. While selecting the Web 2.0 resource I wanted to share, I chose to focus on one that would be especially beneficial to Special Ed students, since this is my major. There are so many great ones to choose from, but I decided on ToonDoo. I like this site for many reasons. First, it can be used by students and teachers to create their own comic strips or comic books. I love that your comic can be one square or one hundred squares because it really makes the site usable by everyone. Comics are a great way to intrigue students, but it also helps them with writing, grammar, illustration, storytelling, dialogue, speech and language. Students can make the comics themselves or teachers can make the comics and use them as a teaching tool for their class. It is free to use and there are tons of different options for characters and things.
