COMEEKO

COMEEKO

After having been doing quite a lot of research on different web 2.0 tools on the Internet, I found a very interesting one, at least to my way of thinking. Let's see how it works. Its name is Comeeko and it is an Internet resource which offers the possiblity to create cartoons and comics out of people's own information or out of real-world-based information. It is because of this that by creating and designing comics based on real life aspects that students get familiar with the world that sorrounds them, that is to say, learning History in a non so explicit way. Apart from that, I strongly think that Comeeko can be also used as a plattform for the summary of the major and most important concepts seen in class until the moment, but a very appealing and attractive way of summarizing a subject. The use of images and photos help students identify the most important issues, at the very same time they find it easier to rememember the content dealt in a specific lesson.

On the other hand, Comeeko provides the teacher with very useful and helpful materials, due to the fact that students can deliver their own presentation via the Internet, for instance before the presentation is carried out in class, in order for the rest of the class to know what the next topic for discussion or information is going to be. 

Finally, and to sum up at the same time, all the above reasons make me reach the conclusion that Comeeko engages students in a avery funny and collaborative way of working together, and of delivering information to others. Sometimes the way the information is presented is much more relevant successful and effective than the content itself.
