What a great tool! I have learned an abundant amount of information while working with Comic Life. When I first started putting together my comic, I was thinking how in the world it this going to be beneficial in the classroom. Now, I can see that it would be an outlet for the students to be able to create something of their own, where they can add their own expression and personality into the project. Also, this is a fun and colorful way for the teacher to get an activity/lesson plan started because I think the students would enjoy reading the comics instead of just listening to the teacher talk the whole time. Comic Life would be beneficial for all student levels, and could be adapted to all student levels. This could also be adapted to fit almost any academic subject. It really allows for personal creativity and individualization, which I think students crave.
I am so excited to have been introduced to the fun world of Comic Life. I cannot even begin to describe what I learned while experiencing Comic Life and creating a lesson/activity to go along with it. I learned and discovered how much fun and useful comic life would be in a classroom. This was my first time experiencing Comic Life, and I loved it. Comic Life helps bring in more classroom/student skills than just creating something fun. The students are able to learn/work on technical skills, writing skills, and language skills. If the teacher were able to find some way to incorporate Comic Life into each lesson/activity, or at the beginning of each unit, I think the teacher would find more of a learning connection with the students rather than just learning information from the book. Students want to learn and think “outside of the box” and I think Comic Life helps do just that.
