I am interested in having my students create comics from vocabulary words that are in our curriculum. HOWEVER, I am having a hard time finding a free tool that is safe enough for the kids to use with half way decent options for actually creating the comic. Any suggestions?

I have looked a toondoo (possible unacceptable language for my kids)
I have also looked at the read-write-think comic generator but feel like it is pretty limited with building the comic as well as the ability to share it with our global audience.

Nancy thanks for all these sites. We have only used toondo but I want to look at your others.
brachsmith,

We had a very long comic thread on EFL Classroom 2.0 awhile back. Lots of generators there and rather than repeat, take a look with a quick registration. Lots more about language including story books, quizzes, videos etc....everything for literacy and trying to really combine social networking with content.
I also have a full folder of so much all cartoon and learning related. A few people who chimmed in are actually studying this .....

I made this presentation awhile back. You might apply vocab about personalities or body to it!

In my del.icio.us links I have one or two strip generators that Nancy doesn't have listed. They might work. Try http://del.icio.us/mrpuffin/comics
