I loved using Comic Life, and even more, loved looking at the different Comic Lifes that people have created! This software was so simple to use and not at all intimidating. I started out creating a comic that documented the day my son was born. It was super fun to use!! I then created my comic about finding the length of the hypotenuse - using a peanut field as the connection to Georgia. I enjoyed looking through my own pictures and finding those online when needed to add interest and fun to the comic. One thing that I did find difficult was trying to import things from Word - text for math or images. I was able to get around this by writing the math down, then taking a picture of it with my laptop camera. Overall, the program was very easy to use, and I enjoyed creating my Comic Life presentation.
I think that this would be an awesome software for students to use to create projects for class. It is also a program that yields a finished project in very little time. In my classroom, I could show the students how the program works or create a group comic on the Promethean Board. We could then go to the computer lab to have students create their own. It would be so awesome!

Erica, It looks great. I told Barry that I really want to print all of these and use them in my classroom, because we do a GA unit in second grade. Yours is very usable and cute. I think it would hold the attention of many students:)
ReplyDeleteErica, you and Leah just showed me how to make a comment through your comments on my blog. I didn't want to mess up anyone's blog with a post ... and didn't understand until right now about this comment feature. I would have liked to take math from you ... your examples are real-world and fun and you help me understand why studying math is important. I think your students will really like the graphics in your Comic Life example too!
