Yesterday in class, Paul presented the use of comic book creating software (he used software from PLASQ, but there are others available too; unfortunately, I didnt find any that are free) to present mathematics content in comic book format as a way of engaging disengaged students.  What a fantastic idea!

I think the idea has great potential!  Think of asking students to create their own summary of a topic in comic book format.  If playing with technology or creative writing is their thing, this would tap into their interests and get them learning mathematics content at the same time. Their creations could be showcased and shared online with other students and the larger school community.  Thanks for the idea, Paul.
