The Secret Science Alliance: Comics in the Classroom Podcast 3



I REALLY liked this book. I had a nice review all written and almost proofed (complete with funny little bit about how I can be bribed with sketches that made complete sense, but my wife thought I should leave it out because someone might take it serious...silly/sensible wife), but them my computer shut down on me AGAIN, possibly losing EVERYTHING: pictures, articles, etc.

Oh well.  Now you have to suffer through the sound of my voice.

Thanks for tuning in, I kept it to just over 3 minutes this time.

Here is the link to the homepage of the book I reviewed, The Secret Science Alliance.

Cousteau, Koufax and a Mouse: Comics in the Classroom Podcast 2




Welcome to our second podcast, only a couple of days after out first. This time I focused on some kids books that I had put off for far too long. Two of them are biographies with amazing art: The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau and You Never Heard of Sandy Koufax?!. Then I change gears and review a book for younger readers (k-2), Little Mouse Gets Ready.

Hope you hear something useful to you.

Thanks,
Scott Tingley

Our First Podcast - Boom Kids!




Welcome to our very FIRST podcast. I had no intention of ever doing this, but since I had to as part of a computer class I figured I might as well do one for Comics in the Classroom. I think it went pretty well. I stumbled couple of times, but I was able to edit out most of the major problems.

Let me know if you watched it...no comment necessary, but I would like to know if anyone accessed it.

Thanks,
Scott Tingley
