I have used ComicLife to have students create graphic representations of literary analysis. I worked with a 7th grade English teacher, and she and I had a small group of high-achieving students who created a graphic novel-type book that analyzed Poe's "Tell Tale Heart." They had to incorporate literary analysis (voice, tone, literary terms, ect.) with photos representing the story. The students loved it, and the project turned out great. I'll see if I can get a copy of one of them to share if you are interested.

I am planning on using ComicLife with my creative writing class next quarter. I am going to have them research an era that they have already studied in History and create a historical fiction story. Then they will write it in a graphic novel format. I am looking forward to this project!

Hope that helps you.

Hello, Mayra, thanks so much for sharing this link. I will add it to my website for my students to work with it.
Have you tried www.toondoo.com and secondlife.com as other ways to do that? Kerpoof.com is also very good.

Dear Mayra,

Have you seen the Comic Life in the Classroom wiki?

I don't have any Crazy Talk resources to share, but you like Comic Life and Crazy Talk, you might also like Animoto and Mixbook.

Good luck with your classes!

I've seen some cool technology training documents created with Comic Life and intend to make the next set of documents for technology training with it.
