Strategies for using COMICS in the classroom

I've recently fallen in love with comic creators and its various possibilities of use in the classroom.

This WONDERFUL presentation shared below, not only brings several links to comic creator sites but also provides suggestions for teachers.

This is the right time to use comics just before the Christmas break when everybody looks tired and bored. Great, thank you for sharing

Thanks for the resource.
If it helps, I had created a website all around webcomics in the classroom for a NCTE workshop last year.
