A Treasure From the Technology Inventory



One of the most interesting technologies I found during the technology inventory assignment was a comic-book generator. This tool allows for the integration of art in an English classroom with minimal artistic skills required. The use of a comic-book generator allows students to tell a story through images in a manner that is much easier and less time-consuming or messy than actually drawing the pictures by hand. This could be very valuable in a classroom equipped with computers as students could create their stories much faster than they could by hand with conventional paper and pencils. This tool does have its drawbacks as most free generators have limited options which could limit student creativity, but it can be useful for promoting art in a quick class exercise.
