The most difficult part of this poster was deciding what place to choose for the sense of place. Then I realized that I can't find my folders of pictures from Colorado and the Pow Wow my grandson and I went to in New York. I guess that helped narrow my choices, but I am still bummed I can't figure out where my other pictures are saved. Oh well, on to Comic Life once I found some suitable photos of a place I really enjoying going to the rest was pretty easy. I did have a little trouble getting things centered correctly and moving things around until they seemed like they were in a good order and position. I can see this being used in my classroom for many reasons. I really liked the idea of making posters of classroom events and field trips. I have already used it to help students get a project finished that they were having difficulty with. It made making a poster much easier and motivated the students to who would probably not have completed the project. When students have an enjoyable and relatively easy way to get things done even the unmotivated students can be stimulated enough to get their work done.

This is a great poster and a fine example of how to use Comic Life with students. Students all have different perspectives on things. Imagine if you gave each student a camera and took a similar field trip. It would be interesting to see what kinds of posters they'd produce. This would be particularly effective for local field trips--lots of cool stories would be roduced.
