The idea of graphic novels creates a whole new way of teaching that I never even considered. I would think the only use of graphic novels were to help students who struggled with reading to read like it said in the article, but I never imagined actually teaching through this device. Students would be more interested with this type of learning because it combines reading and visuals in order to completely understand a subject matter. Like with the math lesson explained in the article, students could learn the material at their own pace and question things and have it all right in front of them. It is sometimes hard for students to take notes and gather all information that a teacher voices out so this is a good way for them to have it down infront of them.
As for the blog, I think it is interesting that there are comic conventions that people go to because they are so interested. Many people post about comics especially when controversy is brought up within comics. Comics can show social and politcal issues in them in a different manner that catches people's attention.
I find these articles insightful in the classroom.
