Welcome to EDTECH News


This month's software is an absolutely outstanding program with limitless possibilities.  The program allows students to create stories in a comic book format using Garfield and all of his buddies.  Students choose from 100's of drawings of Garfield and his friends, different settings, and varied cartoon bubbles indicating speech or thought.  

You may want to use it to motivate one of your learners who struggles with written expression.  You can require perfect sentences in each frame.  Or you can use it to motivate and expand the creative expression of one of your students who shines in written expression.  Students could even use this software to teach others about a specific topic in science or social studies, using Garfield as the spokesperson.  A sample strip that illustrates how students might use it to begin an instructional lesson on the Kumeyaay is provided below:

This month's software is available from Scholastic's October Software Club Junior.  The price is $19.95 and it is available until February 11th. You may also purchase it for 280 bonus points.  To call in your order, dial (800) 724-2424.
