Comics in the Classroom!
Scott Tingley is a teacher and comic book fan who has begun a website which assists teachers in motivating children to be excited about learning through comic books. A great site with lesson plans and links to great, child friendly, comics.
Comics in Education!
The educational potential of the comics medium has been largely ignored by the educational establishment. Comics in Education is Gene Yang's effort to the rectify this oversight. Another great Gene Yang idea!
Factoring with Mr. Yang and Mosley
This is an online comics-based unit teaching factoring, a difficult concept covered in Algebra I. Factoring with Mr. Yang and Mosley exploits the strengths of comics as an educational tool. Also, make sure to listen to my interview with Gene on the Multimedia page.
