Comic Maker iPad App In Science

Mr. Lenz is using the Comic Maker iPad app so that students can critically think and create a clear understanding of Experimental Design Process.  A rubric was created.

Students talk about the app and the process.


Creativity: Students needed to add some form of personal design to facilitate the knowledge of the Experimental Design Process.  Many different characters and settings help to establish a time line to understand the process.

Follow Up:
In an afternoon email received from the classroom teacher, some insightful information about the learning opportunity was provided.

• I found out it was not JUST the app that helped them to derive their own learning, but I found the conversations/discussions all throughout the day(s) as the real basis for synthesis of learning. The app serve as a vehicle for understanding.
•  I highly recommend the app. For me...so far, this app has brought the greatest forum for improvement of learning. And the kids enjoyed it... that is always a bonus!

Comic Maker Utilized For Spanish Vocabulary Conversations

Students in Ms. Slusarek's Spanish class were provided multiple technology creation tools to display knowledge of proper Spanish vocabulary in conversation.  While this example does not display proper grammar throughout, it provides a glimpse into creative conversation through an iPad app called Comic Maker.  Comic Maker is part of the Top Tech Tool Infographic and utilized for the first time in our school.  Comic Maker's official tutorial is somewhat lengthy, but detailed.  It didn't take twenty-eight minutes for students to successfully create with the app.


 Overall, the Comic Maker app was easy to use and fit this learning environment perfectly.

Impact On Students:
Creativity:  Not only did students need to use proper Spanish grammar, but creating a conversation took time and effort.  Students also need to develop characters and scenes.
