Comic Maker

I am on the hunt for an online tool that will allow students to make comics.  Also, the teacher wants the text and or audio to be in Hebrew.  So far this is my assessment of the cartoon/comic creation tools I looked at.   More work to do, but this is a start.

www.goanimate.com - This one is my favorite so far!

• Pros: you can use their starters or start from scratch; you can add your voice or type text (that they will voiceover for you); creates a video (visual & audio)
• Cons: requires sign-up with an email; the free version is a bit limited and the school version is more than I can afford right now.

• Pros:  can use their characters or create your own; HEBREW is available (but haven't gotten it to work yet)
• Cons:  requires sign-up with an email + some racy characters for school; no sound
• My creation:

• Pros: no need to sign-up with an email
• Cons: overly simplistic; not many choices; not able to type or cut-past Hebrew into dialog boxes; no sound; cannot save, but can email or print creation.

• Pros: it's Garfield; simple and easy to use
• Cons: not able to type or cut-paste Hebrew into dialog boxes; no sound; cannot save, but can print creation.
  IDEA: you could insert text boxes and have students write the Hebrew in.
