There is a variety of speech bubbles, thinking bubbles and text boxes.
When you are ready to save, click on the main menu in the top left corner of your toon.
Give your toon a name. Unless you
want others to work on your toon, tick off ‘let others redo’. You
can choose also to publish to the world or to keep it private.
To find toons previously created, go to My ToonDoos
This is what My ToonDoos looks like.My students save their work as their name as well as the topic.
You are able to save, print and share the
toon. Save is to download to a file on your computer, share is to get the embed code to paste into a
space onto the Ultranet or webpage.

When you click on SHARE, the embed code is copied onto your computer, in your
computer, you don’t see it, but it is there and you will get the message ‘copied’. You
then PASTE (ctrl V) into your blog.
Once you have copied the embed code, you need to PASTE (Ctrl V) into the SOURCE
