Language: English (en)
Summary: I am interested in trying to tap into the interests of students to engage their minds in my classroom. In this day and age when graphic novels are more popular than ever, Comic Life is a perfect tool for this purpose. It can serve all levels of creativity and artistic ability. Comic Life can also serve a variety of purposes such as short assignments, projects, and presenting information. I will explore the many ways Comic Life can be used to spice up boring material and engage students.
