Sherry Ziolkowski, Web Specialist in Arlington Heights District 25, presented a great session at IL-TCE called Comics in the Classroom. I was eager to hear this presentation because my colleague, Lucy Gray, recently told me that our school has a site license for Comic Life. I'm planning to teach my students this application so we can do something with it for an upcoming Oregon Trail Unit (perhaps with primary source photos). Supposedly ComicLife is easy for students to learn and teachers can choose the template for them. See Sherry's link above for a step-by-step description. This is my first attempt using photos from our early October fieldtrip to an apple orchard.
