Educational comics are pretty awesome. They can be used for a huge range of purposes, both for the teacher and the students. Procedures, event recounts, and narratives are just a few of the ways in which educational comics could be used in the classroom. In trying comics out I made a recipe procedure using Comic Life2 software. One great thing about this program is that it has a wide range of templates and formatting already available. This means anyone (including me!) could make a comic. However the software itself was a bit glitchy at times and this does detract from its effectiveness. If I was going to use comics in the classroom, I would have to spend more time myself working out the ins and outs of the program so that I was an efficient user and could then teach the class. Without proper instruction, the kids may easily become confused or distracted, which may result in the whole exercise being a waste of time. Its definitely something I would consider using but I'd have to try it out for myself a bit more first.
