The Body Systems Mind Map  Hello every body, Today I would like to show you my body systems mind map.  This time, I have used a tool called Creately . A mind map is a diagram for representing tasks, words, concepts, or items linked to and arranged around a central concept or subject using a non-linear graphical layout that allows the user to build an intuitive framework around a central concept.

Purpose Driven Life This time I will speak about Comics as Educational Resources in the classrooms.  I´d like to  share with you a great tool to create comics for our students, the  Pixton .  First thing you need to create your own account. The next step is to select the layout you want to use. Here you can choose from different ones, such as: story board, graphic novel, comic strip...etc.  In my Pixton, I have used the story board because I wanted to give a brief description about what is happening in the story.  Pixton is a cartoon creation tool that allows its users to create awesome comics. Pixton has also a growing community that anyone can access to contribute with their own comics. This tool is very easy to use and does not require any artistic skills to work on it. You can introduce it to your students and let them create their own comics and share them with each other. From fully posable characters to dynamic panels, props, and speech bu...
