Toondoo would be a great tool in a classroom, especially for your artisitically inclined students, as well as for those who are visual learners. In an elementary school classroom, you could use it very easily for sequences for science, history, and so on.
For instance, as a review, you could have each student make a cartoon illustrating the phases of the moon or the water cycle. You could also have a summary practice after reading a story or a book in class - and have each student make a cartoon with main points in each square.
Or as a creative exercise, you could even have the kids practice making political cartoons of a character in history or in today's society!
The only problem with this (as well as with any type of computer-based technology) would be the number of computers available in the classroom. With few computers, each project would be less effective and less do-able.
