Explanation of Artifact
This artifact showcases a cartoon designed on the website makebeliefscomix.com. We were asked to create a comic strip to use the site mentioned above to show that learning could be blended online with something taught in the classroom. This was created in a Tier 1 course.

Why I chose this Artifact
This was one of the first activities I produced to keep for an artifact for online / blended learning. Although there have been many since, I enjoyed creating this and have used this site with my classes to extend understanding of a concept that has been taught. Visually appealing to kids they were able to illustrate understanding in a humorous and online / blended example.
Would I do anything different? Why or why not?
I really wouldn't change anything about using this assignment but I did find that some real basic instructions were needed for all of the kids to be able to complete the assignment. Some kids needed help with sending the comic to themselves or printing it as a pdf file.
