98-StoryboardThat will Transform your Kids into Editorial Cartoonists

James Sturtevant Hacking Engagement

When I was a young teacher, I used to bring my newspaper to study hall. Students would perch on their desks and observe me like vultures. As soon as I was done with the Sports Section, or the Life Section, they would swoop down and devour it! Today, I'm not sure kids could identify a newspaper in a police lineup. What I loved the most about consuming the newspaper each day was the Comic's Page and the Editorial Cartoons. Unfortunately, I don't get a paper anymore. My exposure to comics has diminished significantly. I miss them!
So...in this episode, I'll demonstrate how to revive this wonderful medium with the help of a tremendous tech tool called StoryboardThat. I'll also give non-humanities teachers an idea on how they could use it in their curriculum.
