FEBRUARY CONFAB
As you probably already know, The Graphic Medicine Confab is a roundtable conversation focusing on the challenges and techniques of making graphic medicine: comics about everything and anything to do with health, medicine, illness and our bodies. Each meeting has a theme and a facilitator and there's NO CHARGE!
Here's info about our next 'Fab. (Not just for graphic medicine makers!)
COMICS STUDY GUIDES! WHAT ARE THEY? WHY CREATE THEM?
Comics are becoming popular classroom media for use by students from kindergarten to doctorate programs.

Quince: The Definitive Bilingual Edition with a study guide by Theresa Rojas! |
Do you make comics that could be used in a classroom? If so, you might want some tips on ways to promote your work as (not just fantastically entertaining but also) educational. One way to inspire educators to use your comics in the classroom is to make study guides for your books. What is a study guide, you ask? Come to the GM Confab and find out.
Are you an educator interested in connecting with cartoonists and using more comics in the classroom? If so, you may want to share in the Confab conversation about study guides.
