"In their hands" - State of Victoria, DEECD
Comic Resources
By now most schools would have received, downloaded, and installed license keys for "Comic Life" on the netbooks. (If you haven't talk to you 1:1 coordinator, Principal, Ultranet coach - in that order ;)
The Comic Life program is a really creative tool for producing lots of different products that can include images, captions and some awesome callouts, speech bubbles and comic strip templates. You and your students will probably figure it out by yourelves by having a play with the really intuitive interface. If you want a complete introduction (23mins) you can download it here:

Jenny Ashby teaches at Epsom PS near Bendigo. She facilitates a meeting of the Bendigo Apple Users Team (BEAUT) once a month.
Last month members were asked to contribute ideas on how to use Comic Life in the classroom to a Google presentation doc. Most the ideas are more applicable for primary students, but some could be used with students up to Yr 8.
The PowerPoint presentation is attached below for downloading. Thanks to all those who contributed.
