Comic Life and Geometric Terms



So, the reflection:
This program, Comic life, is fantastic! this would be really fun for all kinds of school projects. It's really easy to use, and you could get kids to create educational comics with pictures. Of course, this would be only for older grades, because younger kids couldn't do it. However; from a teaching perspective, you could always use this program to create handouts or other things for the students. They wouldn't have to use the program itself. In the upper grades, you could use their pictures from home to do a 'getting to know me' page. Or in social studies or science, they could put pictures with captions of information, and label things as part of a presentation. For english, you could use this to create real comics reflecting the plot of a book. You wouldn't even have to fill them in with pictures, just leave the squares blank to be drawn in by the kids.
