While looking for information on using Comic Life to teach mathematics, I stumbled across this website which talks about using newspapers in science, math, social studies and other core classes. This is really awesome. I think i can get some newspapers sent out for free from Anchorage and then I could integrate it into my math classes. That would be awesome. The kids need to see the more practical applications of mathematics.
