I am always surprised with how many Physical Education comics we see week in and week out. Though I guess I shouldn’t be because those are they are the most active teachers… get it? Most active. Heh.
Aaaaanyway… Take a look at these great photo comics used for education. These were created by teachers around the globe!
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this little publication that’s been around a while, The New York Times. They just put out an article about making your own comics, and guess who is at the top of the heap? That’s right, Comic Life! Yeah, baby!
Here are some excerpts from Kit Eaton’s article, Transforming Your Photos Into Comic Strips:
“Of the comic book apps I’ve used, Comic Life, $5 for an iOS version, has the most features and works best on an iPad because of the bigger screen.”
“Because the app relies on your photos to create stories, you don’t need any drawing skills to get a good result.”
“I love the way the app allows you to edit tiny details, from the shape and style of word bubbles to the size and placement of each story cell.”
Michaela Wilkinson –

Tried @comiclife with the Jigsaw Learning concept for a Cricket lesson focussing on Fielding! #peerteaching by @MWilkinsonPE
We had to reach out to Michaela to find out more.
Hello All! We’re starting a new adventure together, Tip of the Week! Every week I’ll put up a comic that has tips about creating comics and using Comic Life. Feel free to make requests about features and things you’d like…
