Educomics – European Union project, using digital comics in education

Educomics http://www.educomics.org/ is an European Union Comenius
education project under the Life Long Learning Programme. It will show
educators how online and offline digital comics can be used in the
classroom to enhance learning, engage and motivate students, and use
technology in a practical and effective way.

The project will create training material for teachers and organise
workshops for teachers. Attending teachers will learn how to apply
strategies and lesson plans in their schools using digital comics.

You can get involved with Educomics during the course of the project, by
downloading the Comiclab application that will allow you to make web comic
books. The Comiclab applicationcan be downloaded from http://

. You can use it in
your school. We would be very interested in hearing about the results and
how you used web comic books, please let us know at the address below.

If you would like further information please write to us.
