Graphic Novels and Teacher Research in the Knowledge Society
Schwarz, Gretchen
Educational Forum, v77 n2 p151-160 2013
Graphic novels offer an exciting new medium across the curriculum, but classroom research must be done. Anecdotal evidence is a start, but reform requires thoughtful study. Teachers are in the best place to do this research, as they have ready access, currency, and credibility. Teacher research on graphic novels, indeed all new media, is also needed for teacher professionalism in the Knowledge Society.
