Lifetoon for story creation

Lifetoon is a fun entry in the range of generative AI tools being offered to us-- it creates a comic from your text/image of a character(s) and description of a story. It does require an image for character creation but you can just use a Googled image based on a character description. You can use yourself of course, but I would avoid uploading images of students into an AI.

I very frequently use this very 70s personal narrative as a model for teaching a complete episode with Story Grammar Marker®. Yes, it's true- I once fell out of a moving car and my mom, driving, failed to notice. I ran this through Lifetoon and it did a fairly good job of rendering it as a comic! 



Lifetoon is a good tool to experiment with! Comics such as these could be useful for visualizing the plot of a chapter book or a historical event, curriculum concepts, social scripts and social or executive functioning problem solving situations.

  1. Lifetoon is a delightful and creative tool for building visual stories. It is great for turning simple ideas into engaging comics or storylines. While experimenting with it, I have been a bit overcome with deadlines sometimes I wish someone could just take my class for me service so I could focus more on creative projects like this!

  4. Totally agree Lifetoon is honestly such a fun and creative way to bring stories or lessons to life. I tried it a while back when I was deep into learning about becoming a nurse in the UK, and I swear it actually helped me visualise certain scenarios better. I remember making a comic about what qualifications you need to be a nurse and how long does it take to become a nurse felt like I finally got it, haha. I know this might sound odd, but it really stuck with me more than reading plain text. Becoming a nurse has been on my radar for a while, and tools like this weirdly make studying more bearable. I really like how Lifetoon makes stuff feel more real, ya know?
