When looking for an article for ComicLife, I found that there are very few articles that discuss this topic. However, the one that I found seems to be appropriate for the workshop plan that our group is putting together. The article is a good introduction of what exactly ComicLife is and the situations that it can be applied to. It can be included with a handout or as introduction of what to expect from the workshop. Even though the articles were limited, I think this will fit in our plan.
Kenny (2006) lists many examples of ComicLife being used across the curriculum. Kenny has seen it in use in science, reading, writing, social studies, foreign languages, and technology. He states that it promotes creativity in children by sending them out with a digital camera and take those pictures to create their own story. He also seems to briefly describe the instructions and how simple it is to create a comic. However, at the time this article was written this was Mac only software. It now can be downloaded to a PC.
