We’re thrilled to announce the launch of ToonDooSpaces, an exclusive ToonDoo product which enables the use of ToonDoo in private environments where security and content moderation may be prime concerns.

ToonDooSpaces combines the creative and social features from ToonDoo with enhanced safety, security and monitoring features.

Ever since its launch in March 2007, ToonDoo has been creatively used in the classrooms of educators from all over the world. ToonDooSpaces is an effort to further facilitate the safe, creative and fun use of ToonDoo in classroom environments.

A ToonDooSpace is actually an independent ownership-based domain space at ToonDoo and has a unique address such as www.yourname.toondoospaces.com

Members of a ToonDooSpace can enjoy all the creative and social features available at ToonDoo while administrators can enjoy the following additional features:

Safety! Security! Privacy! No outsiders or outside content is allowed.Users can only view toons created by other users or administrators. All content and activity can be monitored by administrators.

Ease of management and administration! Designated administrators can monitor and manage all aspects of their ToonDooSpace with just a few clicks. This includes creating multiple users in one go (no email addresses required), blocking inappropriate content, hiding inappropriate clipart, featuring selected toons, and monitoring user activity.
Customizable Homepage! An easy-to-use administrative interface lets administrators customize how their homepage will look to visitors.

Special clipart! Characters, props and backgrounds specially created from an educational point of view are already available. Students and educators can also upload their own clipart to a special gallery (subject to administrator review and approval.)

We believe that ToonDooSpaces for schools will be:

A true translation of ‘Who says learning can’t be fun?’
A unique out-of-the-box approach to learning
An engaging and fun-filled way for students to learn new concepts, skills or languages
A powerful storytelling tool for students to express their creativity and flow of thought
A productive deviation from the traditional approach to learning and teaching
An effective medium to encourage collaboration between students
An interesting method for educators to evaluate student learning
An instrument to identify and encourage career oriented talent within individual students
A powerful social network within school

And you don't have to take our word for it!

Read what beta-test educator Kevin Dogtrax had to say about his ToonDooSpaces experience:

All spring, my sixth graders (11 and 12 year olds) were fully engaged in the use of our ToonDooSpaces site.
They would walk in thedoor and immediately ask: Are we going to makecomics today, Mr. H? And they give a little shout of "Yeah!" with a fist pump when I say "yes"I think ToonDooSpaces and others are on the right track. Comics seem to be a natural platform for all levels of writers. My advanced students move into complicated stories and poems while my struggling writers are interested in the art-writing element of comics. It really reaches across different levels."
