Bitstrips for schools
Bitstrips is a sophisticated, but easy-to-use application that allows students to make comic strips/graphic novels. The Ontario Ministry of Education owns a province-wide license, which means that Ontario teachers can access an education account for free, for as many classes as you like. Go to bitstripsforschools.com and click the Ontario Teachers - Activate your Account link.
Once you log in, you create a class access code and an account for each student in your class. Students log in with the access code, then select their name from a drop down list and create a password for themselves (you might want to warn them that the Teacher console allows you to see their passwords). You don't need to track log ins and account numbers in a separate spreadsheet.
