This week we dealt with an interesting, current topic we live with every day: the dark side of text books. We were asked to explain it by using new tools (web 2.0 tools) that we would display as at an art gallery on Monday lesson. We set to gatherings for this project. On the first get-together we turned down some ideas, and for the second one, the idea of making a comic took shape.

This issue focus on children’s learning and teaching. To display this conception of educational material we could use an infographic, a twitter timeline or a comic. And finally, after different ideas and despondencies there were agreement. The comic was our tool.  Our mate Lucia made a great job and it looked wonderful.

After reading some documents about this subject I thought it would be easier, but the truth is that there were a lot of work to do to obtain this beautiful, easy-to-understand comic. All of us read and all of us give ideas, then some of them were discarded. The infographic was an option, but it didn’t jelled, just remain as sketch. Another idea was brought up on Thursday, instead of an infographic it would be a comic. Comic live tool plus Photoshop made our work look really nice.

Thanks for reading

See you next week!
