Ipad App Review And Lesson - Halftone 2
Thu 20 November, 2014
Halftone is a comic book creation tool, which is simple to use, but has a good range of tools. To create a comic, your students simply choose a pre-created comic strip frame, with the correct number of frames for the project that they are creating. They then add a photo to each frame from the camera roll. This can be images from the camera roll, or an illustration from another applications, such as Drawing with Carl. They then add speech bubbles, inset text and other graphical elements. You can also now create film versions of your comics. In my experience, students find this app easy to use and they can create excellent work simply. It is also by far the cheapest comic book creation app in the educational VPP store.
