Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We have been using Pixton for years but our school is not able to fund it. I use it all the time with my students.

Pixton turns students into comic creators.

It cures classroom boredom and empowers every student by unleashing their artistic and writing potential. Pixton allows us to create a classroom photo where every student gets a chance to create their own avatar, and make it look how they want to be portrayed, and then compiles all those avatars for a student photo. We use these photos to build community, for Google Classroom, for presentations, and in many other ways.

Pixton allows teachers to create engaging lesson materials for my students, and it helps keep students more engaged by having them show their understanding on any topic with comics!

This yearly classroom membership will provide me and my students with access to 200+ theme packs that can be applied to different lessons and templates. It will allow us to download and print our creations for display after I review their work online and provide feedback there.

Pixton is an incredibly powerful tool for visual communication and an online tool that makes it easy to create comics even without being an artist. It brings words from the page to life, and encapsulates the student's imagination in ways that text alone cannot. This is a powerful way to share their story and projects with the world. By using visual elements like images, characters, and scenes, students can create a rich and engaging experience to present their projects.

This resource will truly make a difference for my students and I would truly appreciate your help getting it funded!
