This article states how the medium of comic strips can develop literacy. And the MFLE website has some hints and tips for making and using comic strips. Quite a few comic strip sites have been added to our del.icio.us recently, the latest being Pixton at http://www.pixton.com/home where you can create a comic or a whole book and show it online.
At http://www.adgame-wonderland.de/type/bayeux.php there is a historical comic ‘construction kit’ based on the style of the Bayeux tapestry. Then there are tutorials for Sketchcast at http://sketchcast.com/category/Tutorial/ and Storytime from Dr Seuss at http://www.seussville.com/games_hb/storymaker/story_maker.html . Create your own comic strips at http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/ and especially for children the comic creator at http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/comic/
