This week I attended a training session on Plasq’s Comic Life program. This is a super easy way for students (or teachers!) to create comics in their classrooms. Teachers can create comics to introduce a topic to students. Students can create comics to demonstrate knowledge of a concept, or even to introduce themselves! There are endless possibilities. May will receive Comic Life within the next month or so. At that time I’ll hold a professional development session on using Comic Life in your classroom. Until then, take a look at some of the great sites I’ve compiled to help you become familiar with the program.
Comic Life in Education This site offers a good background into how Comic Life can be used in your classroom. The “examples” tab offers a few templates to get you started
How to Use Comic Life in your ClassroomThis site is good for providing you with an overview of the program as well as showing the interface and what is available
Awesome site from a teacher in Arlington Heights with Links to sites that show comics in the classroom, examples, manuals and tutorials
ConnexionsThis site gives a short explanation of using Comic Life and provides some examples
