Pixton Review

     Pixton is a web 2.0 tool that we can prepare works such as reports, homework, school projects in the style of comics. It includes expressive characters morphing into shapes, a feature-searchable library of more than 2000 objects and backgrounds that are preset and grouped by themes. Customizable text, captions and speech bubbles are available in flexible layouts with variable panel width and height. With Pixton, you can explain a concept or idea in a short and concise way. You can describe subtle emotions with customizable characters. You can draw a movie script even! 

    But how do we use Pixton? Well for starters, you need to log in to the site and create an account. After creating an account, you need to create your own avatar. To add comics, you must first choose a theme and background. In addition to your avatar, you can add other characters. You can change the shapes of the speech bubbles and your fonts. You can change your character's mood according to the situation and create a more realistic story. After creating a story, press the save button and your story will appear in your account!

    Here is a visual from a group work which I've been a part of using Pixton!

Constant connection to colleagues and the availability of a problem solving environment is cruicial in learning. Be it failing to understand a concept or finding relevant information for a certain subject, it is all possible through learners of your field.

IUC - UMA Collaboration (Valiant Project)

    First of all, I have to say that the collaboration with the Spanish students has been a wonderous experience for me. Let alone being able to create something new with people I didn't know prior to the project, it also helped me get to know new ethnicities and expand my knowledge about them.     The project started off with participants getting to know each other. In our case there was Audrey from France, Maria from Spain and us 3 friends from Turkey; Soner, Yakub and finally me, Görkem. The first meeting went very well where we first introduced ourselves to each other and asked questions to each other to really understand each other.      In the second meeting we were tasked with writing a text that described our language learning journey and the hardships that we went through as well as preparing questions about our friends's texts after reading them.
