Hey Cary, if you post your question up above as a crowdsource ?

http://mcpopmb.ning.com/page/post-a-crowdsource

I can broadcast it next Tuesday - it just needs a url that I can direct people to it. Wall comments tend to get lost/buried over time and you can't link directly to them - just to the group. Soooo if you post it we can get the message out to a larger audience by broadcasting your question!

Hopefully we can collectively help you out with this!

Thanks, Ryan! Trying to do a bunch of pieces in GNR's "reference" section that highlight great p.d. resources for teachers. First up is a review of Terry Thompson's "Adventures in Graphica" -- one of the must-read books in the field, esp at elementary:

I thought you all might be interested in this trailer for a documentary about Comic Book Literacy. They don't have a distributor for the film yet, but it sounds interesting.

Here's another cartoon creator I saw today - Chogger. And I also finally remembered Pixton.

Teaching resource packs that compliment our Classic and Shakepeare graphic novels.
Hopefully I've posted this in the right place Ryan?

Susan - thank you so much for the additional resources!

Professor Garfield is "Comics Lab" above - however, I added the EXTREME version. I added Cartoonist + Myths & Legends Story Creator i

Most of the Comiqs site looks like it may have been abandoned but I did change the URL. I suppose we can keep our eye on that tool. I also added a better link for bubblr.

Thanks again for helping us develop this resource list!
