    Great little video tutorials that show how to construct comics in comic life but also working with drawplus to rip characters from one cartoon and embedding them in the other. All neatly wrapped up in a cyber bullying theme for a token nod to e-safety.

Ugly font may improve learning › News in Science (ABC Science) - 4 views

  • "It's important to remember that a good third of our visual cortex ... is devoted to literacy, reading. This 5000-year-old cultural invention has usurped a huge chunk of the brain," he said.

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark - 8 views

  •  
    A stick figure comic of the play originally by Shakespeare, but adapted by Dan Carroll
  •  
    How about perhaps getting students to adapt another play in this way? A whole year group maybe could make some inroads? Re-organising and rethinking content in this way would surely help with understanding and might entice in some of those reluctant Shakespeare-ophobes.
