Basically, comics allow us to tell a story by mixing images and text, bubbles that are supported with visuals. This will help our brain to process the information in an easier way than reading a large amount of text on a page.
As digital storytelling tools, many of the comic creation tools are easy to use allowing the learners to fill in their frames by clicking on a choice of characters, props, scenes, and so forth. Our learners will be able to quickly create a story, view it, and share it.
Our children can use real or made up characters. When students create cartoons or graphic images of themselves, they are creating avatars. Avatars are a safe way for students to navigate the web. They often encourage students to express themselves because they feel safe in the comic world.
Creating comics engages students and encourages them to explore vocabulary, summarize information, and contextualize what they learn in a creative way.
The tools we have used have mainly been Pixton and StoryboardThat.

Some great comics designed by Máster Universitario en Enseñanza Bilingüe en Centros Educativos de Educación Primaria e Inmersión en Lengua Inglesa's students follow. Comics by Sonia, Daniel, Uxía, Catalina and Nadia are just examples of the creativity shown by them.
