Comic strip and peer collaboration 4.2.4 Reflection

Lesson 4.2.3 was quite interesting. I had never dreamed of forming and owning any cartoon works. I always see it it News papers and magazines but I have ended up forming one.

This lesson introduced me to many comical slangs and jargons, some of which mean different things to different people. And I have come to discover why my students' essays are deteriorating greatly as they are full of abstract abbreviations and slangs.

I have ever collaborated on line but not as it was in this case.

The challenges of using a comic strip is that;

• It consume a lot of time to produce.
• It limits the expressions and the more elaborative work pieces.
• It is more easier to be mis-interpreted by some students.
• It is addictive because if at one time a teacher teaches without it, students get bored and may not understand.
• It is mainly visual and can not easily be used without a projector and screen.
• The visually impaired may miss out.
• All the work must be digitized

  

The potential it holds is that:

It is a tool for easy understanding of abstract concepts and topics.

It kill boredom to some students.

It save space and time.

It is self explanatory to the learners.

It improves the computer skills of both the teacher and the students.
