It is clear that many teachers are already using this great software but I thought Id mention it anyway. It came out first for Apples and is now also available for PCs. You can download it directly from http://plasq.com/downloads/
The cost will depend on the ever fluctuating dollar but is about NZ$45.
I recommend going for the 1 month free trial to have a play first if you are unsure.
Many people are using this as a template ( actually many many templates) for learning stories. The risk is that they get overused with so much colour and detail that they actually are hard to read and the learning is lost in the layout. Tehy can also be time consuming.
A few teachers are using this program really well by using it as a time saver without making every story like a comic strip. In fact often it can be hard to tell that the work was not done in Word. The difference is in the speed and ease of production.
The reason comic life makes things so fast is that you dont have to draw boxes to insert photos and the photo library comes up on the same window so your photos are there just to click and drag.
