There a million different ways to have students at all levels use a digital comic strip in your class, no matter what you are teaching. No, I can't use it in my physed class. Yes do you teach health? Science, what did one cell say to another during Mitosis? Let your kids figure out the ending. Math, okay that might be tough but I am sure someone smarter than me could figure it out. These would be great in ESL or ELL. Maybe as a final summative evaluation. The sky is the limit. Here are a couple free comic strip makers. To read the article click here.
I can't believe on a day of remembrance of the Holocaust I am hearing that a Tennessee school board is banning Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel Maus. This happened a couple of weeks ago but I am just hearing about this backwater school board in McMinn County. To read about that click here. I heard Mr Spiegelman speak and he said that McMinn County is only has 30 percent of its students reading at their grade level. Not sure if that is true but I bet so if you are banning Maus. I had 3 copies of that in my library as it was in and out so often. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Next you will be banning talking about slavery and eradicating the Native Americans. Oh wait they are doing that in Texas.
Sorry to digress, the United Nations has proclaimed that January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

I have previously posted about this great site that I know at least one of the teachers at my school uses. According to their website, "Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery."
