If you’re ready to have some fun with images, then check out ToonCamera, an iOS app that transforms your photos and videos into funky cartoons.

Yep, apply one of nine real-time effects such as pencil, stipple or ink as well as three unique line styles as you snap pictures and video—or convert existing media from your camera roll into instant works of art. And that is that!

Save creations to your iPad, iPhone or iPad Touch and then share them with friends via email and/or a variety of social networking sites—Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram and/or YouTube—all from within the ToonCamera app.

The example shown below was created using one of my favorite BAMS Tech Club pictures.

All that’s left to do is sit back and relax while you become an Internet (OK, classroom) sensation! Just sayin’!

Classroom Connection:

Whenever you or your students are in need of a unique image to convey an idea or concept—for digital stories, reports, posters, advertisements, comic strips, wikis, blogs, etc.—dial up ToonCamera. This “cool tool” can also be used to create comic style avatars for wikis, blogs and other social networking sites.
