Make Beliefs Comix is a website that helps students create comics and build writing skills. Site creator/cartoonist Bill Zimmerman says he created Make Beliefs Comix to help strengthen families and let students express themselves. Students can view simple instructions before starting; they then choose a character from the site's library and insert it into a panel. They can also add dialogue balloons, backgrounds (including color options), and objects. Items can be scaled down, flipped, and moved (these controls are simple but require some practice), and although students are working with pre-drawn images, there's a decent selection to choose from. Finished comics can be saved locally, printed, or emailed. Make Beliefs Comix also has an immense amount of resources for teachers which, while they're not well organized (the whole site is kinda old-school), are definitely classroom-ready.
