Sense of Place Poster

The program Comic Life is a wonderful tool that I think kids will love. They can write their own stories in a fun way, as well as reading other stories. Many kids love to read stories in the view of comics. I find that boys like to read the comic books, and this would be a great tool for them to use to make and read stories. Writing can be hard to make fun for kids today because they think that they have to use only paper and pencil to produce. Today, kids can write their stories using Comic Life. I really think we need to come up with more ways to learn and teach writing and this program is great for this subject. I would really like to use this in my classroom so that kids will have more ways to express themselves in ways that is fun. If they are doing a writing project that they enjoy doing, they will more likely learn more as well as perform at higher levels. As a teacher, you want your kids to be able to write well and tell a story in their own way. Comic Life is a great program to use and it allows kids to express their stories in ways that will blow you away! I'm excited to show my kids this program and read their stories!

I feel really good using this program. I think that I can teach kids in elementary schools th basics of this program. I feel that it was a learning experience at first, but the more time I played around with the program, I figured it out right away. I think it is just like any program, you need to spend some time playing around with it in order to get a good feel for what it's capable of doing. Once I figured how it works, I feel that this is a really good tool to use in the classroom. I'm so excited that this is available on the internet so that I can have access to this regardless of my location. The only limit is having access to the internet. This is a wonderful program!
