 * What: ** POW Strip Design (comic strip creation)

**Abstract: ** This resource is a free comic strip designer app for iPad. The app allows you to select from several templates to begin creation of your comic strip. After you have selected your template you can chose how many panes you will have. Then you can add pictures, text balloons and stickers to create your comic strip. You can import photos to use from Facebook, Dropbox. When you have completed your comic strip it can be shared by email, added to your photo album, upload to Facebook, Flickr, or Dropbox, tweeted on Twitter or sent to iTunes.

**Personal Experience: ** I use this with my students in 10th grade Biology. With most projects that we do students have the option of the platform for what they create. Making a comic strip in one of the options. Presently some students are making comic strip about the evolution of the organism they chose to study during our unit on Evolution, Natural  Selection and Classification.
