Life Could Be A Comic Book

I have been enjoying looking at everyone's posts. If you haven't checked out Ann's, look at some of the cool things she has there. I am going to try picture trail over the holidays.
Jimmy it was good to see that you discovered your local library. I hope you are sharing that story with your students.
I think I will spend much of my winter break catching up on this "course." One application I want to do more with is Comic Life, a program that comes on all the new Macs.
We have several media specialists who are using it in their tech classes. It's a great way for kids to create their own graphic novels or non-fiction. One of our k-8 teachers is having her students research a person and then put together a comic book highlighting their accomplishments. In another school I saw pages from Comic Life of students doing a science experiment and recording their process and observations.

Happy Holidays. I am very excited about seeing everyone again in January.
