Making Comics
This really piques my interest. I read about this on Boing Boing. Scott McCloud will be home-schooling his kids by producing a blog and a series of podcasts and video podcasts documenting their travels. He is taking his family on a one year cross-country tour as he promotes his new book, Making Comics, by giving speeches. Each family member is going to blog about the trip on Live Journal. They’re calling their podcasts Winterviews.(after the youngest daughter, Winter) The daughters are researching some of the comics people they will be meeting. They will be interviewing and presenting. There’s also a webcast of Scott and Sky (his other daughter) talking to Henry Jenkins’s students at MIT about this. It sounds like a good book to use in classrooms and this venture should be most interesting to follow. Here’s the official tour blog and maps of the journey.
