Sense of Place Poster


There are nearly limitless applications of poster software in an Educational setting. Posters are everywhere, and as such are a form of communication that the students are very familiar with. Poster projects can be a fun and creative way for students to show what they know. Not everyone learns the same way and making a poster is a great way to engage hands-on and visual learners. Programs like ComicLife give students the ability to create and share their knowledge/understanding on a nearly professional level, with high quality final products that are extremely tangible. This nice and polished final product can really lend to students' sense of accomplishment. (Posters can also make great holiday take home gifts).

I feel very comfortable using programs such as ComicLife. I have done comic work and extensive graphic design in Photoshop and haven't really found anything as easy to use as ComicLife. ComicLife is straight forward and has a vast arsenal of tools at the user's disposal. I ended up upgrading my version of ComicLife and can see myself using this program much more in the future.
