(This is still sort of a rough draft of a comic about a band. I’d like to do my own art in the future. Right now, I am focusing in on the writing and characters.) Peace (in the music), Kevin

The other day, I shared out a play skit that I had written about developing some Apps for Education as a way to poke fun at the whole concept. I mused on the idea of turning the concept into a webcomic, and now I am in the process of doing so with Bitstrips. Here is More >

Hello. I want to invite you all to join us for this week’s Day in a Sentence, with an alliterative twist. Please boil down your week or a day in your week to a single sentence, but use some fun alliteration with your words. Be creative and be reflective! To participate, just add your alliterative More >

Hello I am back to hosting Day in a Sentence and it is cool to be doing it for the first time in 2010. I am going to direct folks to a Wallwisher site that I set up because it is just so darn easy to use and I want to show people what this More >

Tracy, over at Leading from the Heart, is the guest host for this week’s Day in a Sentence. She asks us to consider something important — and the balance we need to strive for in our life — and reflect upon that with our sentence this week. You are invited to join us. What you More >

I must be in a poetic frame of mind. So, how about Day in a Haiku, which we have not done in quite some time. You can go traditional 5-7-5 or veer off into your own creative Haku-ish world of syllables and topics. It’s up to you. Please reflect on a day or your week, More >

Before we begin, I found a site called Sharetabs from Larry through his Twittering and thought it might be a nice way to send you off to the various blogs of contributors this week. Sharetabs allows you to collect websites and then open them all as tabs or link them from small windows. So, click More >

I was thinking it might be cool to try to add a numerical element to our Days in a Sentence. See if you can work some sort of number into your reflection this week. It could be a countdown to something. It could be a tally. It could be some creative operation that shows something More >

There was another wonderful collection of Days in a Sentence from folks this week. I am always surprised and interested when another submission finds its way into my blog bin. Here goes: In Massachusetts, we are entering our testing season — the MCAS. Mary, my colleague at the Western Massachusetts Writing Project, is already thinking More >

Thanks to Bonnie and Anne for guest hosting Days in a Sentence for a couple of weeks while I was off to Japan with my family. I appreciate the fact that there are plenty of folks who are willing to host the feature from time to time, and if you are interested in hosting Day More >

I am always amazed by the imagination of others and the rich resources that are available to us via web2.0 tools. So much of what we share in this day in a sentence, can be applied to our classroom teaching to make the learning outcomes richer for our students. We have already copied your theme, by asking year 7 students to describe their camp in a sentence. We made that into a voicethread and each student has embedded it onto their blog. Thanks Kevin for sharing a great idea.

A comic collection here! You could start a magazine – you have a magazine. I like the way people work out their own way to participate in this. And the colours! I couldn’t find a way to get colour with Make-your-own-comic, though I can see now that screen-dumping and doctoring in an image application would be the way to go.
What a fantastic way to pass on ideas and so easy to implement. I will be using this ap a lot from now on. Oh, and, I’ll also need to get another computer – for my kids to play comics on!
I thought mine was too late then I discovered that ‘Ken 1′ was really corrupt (the data not the comic!) only after I’d posted it – thanks for cleaning it up. My edits didn’t show on the screen before that – doh! BUT the second one didn’t seem to work at all! I only had a screen dump which I, in disgust, kept and used on my latest post. Good you got Ken 2 – I used Scott McLeod’s blog title as I thought it was relevant
I’m sure he won’t mind, especially if I link to his site
Thanks for the ap and sharing all these insightful comic contributions.

Anne – That’s great that you bring this into the classroom (I may be talking to you about this — Bonnie and I are trying to pull together a proposal about Day in Sentence for the K12 Online Conference). I, too, have used Day with my kids and would love to do it again — maybe with Comic Life on our new Macs.
Ken — You can use color in Make Beliefs Comics — it’s on the lower right? I can’t remember. I did do a little clean up to get rid of the empty dialogue boxes. It’s a little tricky but not too bad, I hope. My aim was for as much simplicity for people as possible.
And Jane and Michaele — thanks for participating. It is the community that makes these endeavors so special.
