Pixton is an online tool that lets you create comics using customizable characters, scenes, and speech bubbles.
Students can use Pixton to tell stories, explain ideas, or show their understanding of a topic in a fun, visual way.

First: Create your Avatar and Custom Characters
First: Create your Avatar and Custom Characters
Your avatar is the digital representation of you!
It can look just like you!
It can look nothing like you.
In a Pixton comic strip, you can even be... an superhero? No, really!
No matter which you choose, your avatar is uniquely yours. Spend some time to make your avatar as amazing as you are!
Steve and Alex, from Minecraft, are examples of digital avatars. In the game of Minecraft, they represent YOU.

Finally: The 3 Panel Story
Rule: at least one character should be in all three panels!
Panel 1 – The Beginning
Show your character doing something normal
(standing, walking, playing, sitting)
Panel 2 – The Change
Something different happens
(surprised, falls, finds something, sees something)
Panel 3 – The End
Show what happens after
(happy, helped, problem fixed, calm again)
Example of a series of panels, the story is told from left to right!
I can sign into Pixton with Google.
I can tell a simple story with three panels.

My story begins with Chef Adams making a beautiful sandwich, dropping it, and being upset that the dog will get to enjoy it instead.
