Comic Life Reflections
Because current students are very drawn to visual media and because boys seem especially drawn to the comic strip format, I look forward to using Comic Life both for instruction and for student-based projects. By the time I've sometimes caught on to a new technology, it's not so new to students. However, I haven't YET seen the comic strip medium being used in classrooms, so I expect that students would appreciate the novelty and the effectiveness of the what Comic Life can provide. And does anybody else smile at the Comic Life sound effects?

I really liked using Comic Life. I think the implementation of Comic Life into the classroom will prove to be very effective in all grade levels. Much like, Voicethread I liked the versatility of Comic Life. It could be used to give instructions, tell a story, demonstrate a right and wrong way to complete a task, among other things. I think a couple of great way to use Comic Life in the elementary classroom would be as an activating strategy to a daily lesson or a introduction to an entire unit. Sometimes it can be hard to be find a "hook" to get students interested in a topic and I feel like Comic Life will serve teachers as a wonderful tool to help with this.
