Do Comics Belong in the Classroom?

Gene Luen Yang fell in love with comics at a young age and immediately became aware that comics weren't welcomed in school.

He became a teacher and published comic artist early in his career. He taught math and computer science and felt that he needed to keep the parts of his life that included comics from his teaching career.

At one point in time, he became a long-term sub for an Algebra class. However, he was required to miss classes fairly regularly due to his responsibilities to help other teachers with their technology needs.

He attempted to record lectures for the days that he would not be in class to give the students some amount of continuity. The students did not appreciate them.

Then he began to make quick, informal comics to teach the lessons when he couldn't be there. These comics were made with a sharpie and no real planning. The students loved these. They even began to request them on days that Mr. Yang would be in class.

The reason why they loved them seemed to be…

Podcast Review: History Chicks

The History Chicks is an educational podcast that looks at a historical woman's life and accomplishments.

They release podcast's once every three weeks. Beckett Graham and Susan Vollenweider are the geniuses behind this drama-packed hour of history.

The History Chicks podcast is your usual history lesson. It gives context for what is occurring at the time and they focus on the interesting things that occurred in these women's lives, not just the parts of their lives that changed history. (Did you know that Louisa May Alcott and Sojourner Truth both belonged to cults during their lives?)

Their website puts it best:
"our goal is to introduce you to female characters in history, factual or fictional via our podcast and shownotes. An introduction, an overview and a little push to explore and learn more on your own." They also spend time talking about common misconceptions about the focus of the podcast. Such as, in the Cleopatra VII episode, they dedicate a lot of ti…

Caitlin Doughty, Memoir of a Mortician

Caitlin Doughty is a mortician, activist, and funeral industry rabble-rouser.
On her website, Caitlin Doughty describes herself as 'a mortician, activist, and funeral industry rabble-rouser.' I first stumbled on her through her morbid and interesting Youtube channel (Ask a Mortician), where she discusses everything from life as a mortician, corpse decay rates, and ghost marriage.

She is the founder of the Order of a Good Death, a non-profit that focuses on removing the stigma around funeral services, and return dignity to funerals without bankrupting families.
