**User Friendly:** Yes! It's pretty overwhelming at first, but once you get to playing around with it--once KIDS get to playing around with it, the basics are very easy.

**Description:** It's a FREE online cartoon generator. It can be used to create simple single-frame cartoons to more complex book-length cartoons.

**How I've used it:** Kids, from Academic to AP, love this. It will eat up some class time the first time they use it, especially if they must create accounts, but once they figure it out, it is a wonderful process and communicate resource. I have used it for introducing short stories, focusing on specific elements of fiction (character, plot, setting, etc.), teaching summary, and even assessing comprehension.


 * How you might use it:** Again, it's great for introducing, summarizing, and assessing comprehension.

**Miscellaneous:** It can be randomly slow especially when many people are using it simultaneously. I've found that sometimes it will take forever to load. This problem usually means that it's stuck, so close the whole browser out. Go back into Explorer and try again. (It ain't exactly rocket science but it usually works.)
