From Comics to Trading Cards: Teaching New Literacies Using ReadWriteThink.org

Presenters:Emily Manning, Denton ISD/Texas Woman's University with Lisa Fink and
Bridget Hilferty
Website: www.readwritethink.org
Power Point: www.Manning_comics_tradingcards.pres.ppt

It's a free site! It's supported by Thinkfinity.org . It has research-based lessons and internet integration.

All of the information from the powerpoint presentation can be seen at the link above. This site has so many resources and activities. We didn't get a chance to look at too many during the session. We looked at Fractured Fairytales and Trading Cards. I will need to play around with the site when I get back!

I also looked at a website online after talking to some ladies in the waiting area for this session. They mentioned www.thinkfinity.org (which is connected with readwritethink.org) which I took a look at and seems to be amazing! It's free, too! It has limitless lessons with different media types and is searchable by many different fields!
