 Hey! what's up! Do you remember the story from my last post? If you did not have time to read it, please, click on this link . The title of the video is: "Recognizing Women's work" , and with this video, we want to recreate the story we created in the last post, in which we offer the students an engaging tool to read the information we want to transmit to them.  The advantage of using these types of videos in class is that students will be able to watch them as many times as they want .

 Hello! Welcome to another post   Today I am going to show you a creative tool for using in learning class. With this tool, you will become an expert in storytelling because I am going to explain to you how to create  comics . Comics are a great visual representation of knowledge and they can be useful for multiple purposes. Depending on the specific purpose you have plenty of possibilities to create. Some of the most popular websites to create comics are: - Prixton - Creaza -  StoryboardThat At first, it can be very exhausting because you have to start by choose among billion possibilities of backgrounds, characters, actions, and emotions, but don't worry, this is the toughest step. Take your necessary time to do it  (I spent more than two hours only looking and selecting specific things!)  After that, you can start creating your comic!  The funny thing is that the students will participate more and they increase their thinking, creating and writing ...
