I thought I'd check and see if there were any svenskar här! I've seen your name in a few places on Ning. Probably on the Ning Creators network.
Trevligt att träffas!

I think you might have some ideas in common since he has done a lot of work with schools and teachers who want to teach about media and production. He does this out of the goodness of his heart and is a really talented teacher. Keith has a syndicated comic strip called the K Chronicles and you can see some of his work at: http://www.kchronicles.com/ Well, the K Chronicles aren't always for youngsters really, but you get the idea. Also wanted to share that I have success using the Walking Dead and other comics to teach shot composition vocabulary. Manga manga manga...They really like them. Look forward to reading about your work here.

At 4:23am on July 2, 2007, Connie Weber said…: Wow! I want to hear everything about using cartooning in the classroom. thanks for your posts! I just read the books Zoom and Re-Zoom to my summer farm camp kids and had them draw a series of zooming in or out from a particular location at the farm. That was fun, and illuminating about children's perspectives. I'd love to get more and more and more ideas for cartooning and creative jounaling.

The school is from Island Tjörn near of Göteborg. Two weeks ago I´ve been in Stockholm and I stayed in very nice hotel 25 km away. I like Sweden very much and in October I will be back because of a meeting in Göteborg.
Much power to you!
