Students use Comic Life to make their own history comic. I use this as my Unit 4 project during our Westward Expansion unit. I also use Comic Life to create posters that I print out for units using the school's huge poster printer. This way I get bright colorful posters with exactly the content I need students to see and use and I don't pay a dime.

U.S. history apps that are "revolutionizing" education. I have the Civil War App, and it is so amazing it is hard to describe! It is based on a day by day exploration into what was happening...includes letters from both northern and southern people involved in the war, newspaper articles and more. It is a treasure of primary source materials!
