Description of Tool:
Toondoo is a cartoon creator. It allows you to create any cartoons you want with bubble texts. Once you create a free account, you can sign in and create your own cartoons.

How does tool apply to your curricular area?
Language Arts/Social Studies: recreate cartoons of wars or historical events. The text bubbles can include factual information as well as appropriate jokes to keep the students engaged. Can have the students create a cartoon as a project (content of the cartoon must be approved by the teacher).

Physics: Can re-create a cartoon with Isaac Newton and the apple falling from the tree. Also for momentum problems, when things collide, I can create cartoons with collisions of objects and exaggerate the effects of the collision.

Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why?
This will covers creating under Bloom's Taxonomy because the students will have to create a cartoon and present it. The cartoons can also be applied to real life scenarios by using funny cartoon drawings. It may help the students remember the material better because it is cartoon-ish and the students might find it funny and more intriguing. You also have to understand what is going on in the subject matter in order to create a correct cartoon about it.
