What is pixton? Why are we using it for?






Pixton


Nowadays, the strip is very popular and common in our culture. Especially for those who are planning to be a teacher or even work with children. ME ! :) 

You don't have to be a gifted draftsman to make a strip with pixton. Everyone can do this by using pixton. Nowadays, everything had to be fast and quick, even for teachers because we don't always have that much time to make something special. We don't have time to take whole stories to is. 
The videoclip and comic strip are therefore among the most popular cultural expressions.

Except for the fact that you can share comics with the world, you can also use them to explain complicated things quickly and easily.
Perfect to use it at the primary school because the way of teaching is not always explaining things just by giving them the theoretical part.
Sometimes children enjoy to get education in a fun way without them even realizing that they get educated at that time. With pixton, everyone can do it, even when you have two left hands! 

Moreover, pixton is an online-application so you don't have to pay for anything.
It's a very easy program that can be used by children from the age of 6years.
You have a lot of different backgrounds, characters, tools, details, etc. which you van add to your storyboard. You can also move every character in a way you want it yourself.
It's an easy way to be creative and to let children decide how they want to be creative in their own progress.

The only disadvantage pixton has, is that you can not actually let characters move. 
On the other hand, the pictures in a comic strip are not moving either so... :) 

I really enjoyed working with this program. It made me feel like a child again and it was really nice that I could be creative in my own way! :)

The most common problem in Belgium...

To split Belgium or not? The division of Belgium is a political project aiming at the removal of the Belgian federation, giving independence to the various Belgian federal states. That can be in many ways, with one certitude:  Flanders and Wallonia become independent states.                                                                                                                   ** Only a small amount of the dutch people plead to reunite with the Netherlands. Same for the people from Wallonia, who want to reunite with France. We call it rattachism. There are several options for the Brussels problem:  - A condominium between Flanders and Wallonia - Attachment tot Flanders or Wallonia - An independent Brussels state - Brussels as a 'Brussels D.C. under the direct control of the European government' History - From French to triple language After the Belgian Revolution in 1830, the Belgian National Congress declared by decree that the House o

Santuàrio de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel Do Cabo Espichel is a cape located in the west of Sesimbra. This is a very touristic place because of the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and because of the beautiful surrounding landscapes.  Besides the scenery and the sea view, this place is also famous for a sanctuary complex.Very close to the edge of the high cliffs, there is a complex, including a church that is still used nowadays. In the past, the cape was used as a defense of Portugal. When the country came to a quieter waterside, a sanctuary was built. This sanctuary was dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Cabo.  The church was built in 1701, with the cloister pendants on both sides, where the pilgrims were previously taken.  When you enter the church, you can still find some important artistic pieces. For example, you can find the main altar with the image of Senhora do Cabo, the paintings in perspective on the ceiling and the paintings
