Belated comment from Comic-con: In the Comic Arts Conference mini con within a con, a special education teacher noted that Comic Sans is nearly impossible to decipher for many of her students, echoed by another sped teacher in the audience. We, as comics creators, should keep in mind font choice for an audience that craves the genre, but has challenges deciphering the language.

Jessica, I have had a great deal of success having students create their own superheros, then a la Thieves World (Robert Asprin/Lynn Abbey) and Wild Cards (George R.R. Martin/Melinda Snodgrass), you and they create a shared story line incorporating their heroes (I strongly recommend that only the teacher gets to play the villains).

I'm definitely open to using graphic novels and comics, but I am looking for some type of superhero themed short story to use with my 9th graders. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Took me forever to figure this out, but I believe I finally posted the discussion board question. Is this what you mean?

My two favorite ideas that I am learning about in my edu courses are Graphic Novels & using films in the classroom. How can we combine both?

I take it that #comicsedu is a twitter thing? For those of us who don't have the media packages for our mobile phones, I guess it's accessible on the internet?

Thanks for the heads-up on #comicedu. I'll start using it for my tweets as well.
I'm @sbotzakis on there if any of you feel like following...

I'd like to second the vote for #comicsedu. Jessica and I have been using it extensively on our own (@mmaddencomics and @jccabel) and also at @dwandwp and it's been taken up pretty widely by academics writing about comics, especially @ComicsGrid and @ernestopriego (one of its editors).
