===For my Web 2.0, I decided on the Make Belief Comics. I chose this site because it would be a good tool to use in an English/Language Arts or a history class for creating animation with stories. Since I am such a visual learner I like to look at creativity and like students to be able to express themselves in other categories other than “paper pencil.” Which leads me into the main reason I liked this site was because it allows students to bring their stories to life and can allow other students to view the stories. The other reason I went with site was because it is perfect for the younger elementary children, which is where I would like to see myself teaching. This site is meant for the third grade and under class, but could more than likely be used for older children as well; just a change of requirements would make it work. As for the history part of it, the site can be used for re-enactment of famous battles, treaties, etc.===

===Now for how I will use this site in my classroom; of course there will be information leading up to using it. Students will first have to create a story on paper or on the computer and edit, re-edit, and peer edit their papers to make them close to the student’s perfection. After the papers have been edited I will introduce the site and show examples and explain the requirements such as how many slides, characters, etc. I will allow for one to two days to complete the animation, after which every child will share/tell their story to the class!===
