Comics in Education


I am being 100% completely honest when I say this: I think comics in education is one of the most brilliant things I have ever heard of and I wish I could have came up with it myself! I have had an epiphany! Children love comics or at least would rather read them than textbooks. And if educational material were made into comic books or “graphic novels” children would be more willing to learn! I love this idea of comics in education and think that teachers should put more effort into making education more fun for their students. I think that if teachers put in a little bit more time into finding educational material through graphics or made them themselves than they will see a great improvement in how well their students pick up on the material.

I am very grateful that I have gotten to read this article because it is definitely something I will be using in my own teaching! I love seeing articles and hear different teaching mediums and methods because it gets me excited and gives me a lot of ideas that will enhance my future student's classroom experience!
