Comic Life Reflection

I really enjoyed getting to use Comic Life, and I look forward to using it in the classroom setting. When I was thinking about creating a comic, I really didn't know what to do (especially since our workshop was geared toward an interdisciplinary science unit), but I soon realized that persuasive writing would fit into that nicely. I think in the future I may have my students turn one of their persuasive papers into a comic; that idea just struck me today. I though the program was easy to use which is a must for the classroom since we don't have a lot of time to spend teaching the students a complicated program, and when I showed my students what I had produced, they were really excited about it (especially the two students whose pictures made it into the comic).

  1. I agree--we need to technology that is user friendly. We do not have the time to teach all of our standards much less the technology that we want them to use. I am also trying to get our tech committee to purchase the program.
