(PRWEB via PRWebDirect) September 7, 2006 -- As students go back to school this fall across the United States, teachers are looking for new interactive teaching tools and methods to get students more excited about school and learning again. There is a little Windows PC computer program by Planetwide Games called the Comic Book Creator (http://www.mycomicbookcreator.com) that lets teachers and students imagine and create by using digital images and word bubbles Visual Lesson Plans, Presentations, Story Books, Scrapbooks of their students and even Comic Books. This sounds impossible. But it’s true.
The Comic Book Creator software uses a simple Drag ‘n Drop format that lets you import digital images from whatever discipline you are teaching, whether it be Math, Science, Reading, History, English, Political Science, Art, ESL, or even Special Ed. Recently, a local Physical Education teacher used the software as a Yearbook Creator with a student and their Hockey Team for the annual Hockey Team Yearbook. The software comes with over 500 different Comic Book style layout and design page templates to choose from, which makes it easy for teacher or student with even with minimal computer skills, creativity and design skills and knowledge to create masterpieces. Well, maybe not masterpieces, but awfully close. There’s an extensive library of caption boxes, word bubbles, clip art and text tools to choose from or you can even import your own artwork and photos. All art and photo assets use this simple Drag ‘n Drop format. The software is so simple from the start that many use it without even reading the manual, it’s that intuitive.
Once you’ve finished creating one page, you can add as many additional pages as you want. When done, you have a choice on how to output your creation. You can save your creation in the form of a PDF file (Comic Book Creator comes bundled with PDF writer), you can output your work to JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIF, HTML, or output it as a Flash Flip-Book. The Flash Flip-Book looks like a real printed book, except it resides on your computer browser and you peel over the pages, it reads just like reading a real book. Your digital output can be posted on your school’s blog, emailed to other teachers and students, or can be printed out on your school printer or email it to a digital printer for a more professional output. The software comes with a nifty image screen grabbing tool add-on that allows you to frame grab images from DVD’s and Video Games played on your computer.
You will be stunned at how much this little program called the Comic Book Creator will do, in such a simple way. Many programs are loaded with complicated interfaces and are very difficult to learn. Teachers and students who were expecting to maybe create a page in an hour or two, will within minutes of installing the software be able to create and write visual stories of their very own. Any teachers, students or educators who want to create or write a story will love using the Comic Book Creator Software.
