Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne has updated one of his most popular posts, on creating comics in the classroom. As well as providing information of five tools to create comics he also provides two slideshows (by B. Hendy). The first slideshow looks at strategies for using comics in the classroom. The second slideshow provides a quick look at how comics have the potential to have students use higher order thinking skills as well as providing materials on other sites that help to create comics.

It's been a while since we wrote about D-LIT. Essentially, it is design, literacy, information, and technology used together to create a product that reflects the learning. We have used D-LIT with Storybird, Voicethread, and Voki in our classrooms with lots of success. The projects range in duration and complexity, but sometimes it is the simple integration of technology that adds to the fabric of a lesson. ASIDE once again presents ideas for lessons with a variety of resources listed. Have you used Marvel to have student create their own avatar? Or checked out Superhero Mathematics 101? (http://www.visualnews.com/2012/02/16/superhero-mathematics-101/#more-36192).

"Most English and social studies teachers no longer view graphic novels as simply "long comic books." The educational benefits of blending illustrations with narratives have been well established. But rarely do books come along that masterfully capture the dynamic, eye-popping power of art and history."
Beth Dichter's insight:
If our students are visual learners are there resources we can use to help make learning more interesting? How about graphic novels? This post explores 'The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation stating: An additional history book is discussed and there are links to additional resources on the value of using visuals in subjects areas. If using graphic novels is new concept for you, or if you are interested in learning more about reasons why to bring them to your classroom, this post will be helpful.

"Nowadays teachers and students have a variety of ways to show what they know and to express themselves. Take a look at some of the hottest online and mobile tools for showing, explaining, and retelling in my infographic, "Show What You Know Using Web & Mobile Apps." These tools can turn students into teachers and teachers into super-teachers! Furthermore, most of the apps listed in the infographic are free of charge."

Storyboard That also has a premium version (which costs money) and this version allows you to create and manage student accounts for your classroom. If you plan on using comics as a tool for students to demonstrate their understanding you will also find screenshots on how to do this in the eBook.
