Comic Fun

In enhancing our tech knowledge, students are learning how to save information to their own USB.  This is essential for certain tasks that we're undertaking in the classroom, such as publishing written work via MS Word and creating comics via Comic Creator.  Our MACs unfortunately are not connected for us to print directly from, which is fine as we are learning how to save our work in other manners AND we'll have an item with a year's worth of work on it that will provide each of us with a nice portfolio at the end of 4th grade.

Today students learned how to save items created via Comic Creator as PDFs onto their USB.  The best part, we used this activity as a great peer teaching tool.  So after I had taught a couple of students the process, they then turned around and helped one other, who was then responsible for teaching another and so on and so forth until we'd all learned how to save our work today.
