Comic Life

I stopped in to see Exploradora in the Mac lab yesterday and they were using Comic Life to do an assignment. I started thinking about ways that I could use that in my science class as an alternate way of assessing my students knowledge. Many times I have students draw out or use pictures to aid in their description of an event they observe in the lab. I was wondering if anyone has used this as an alternate way of testing?

Oh--I didn't even think of using it for testing! I think it could be totally legitimate as an assessment application in which people have to demonstrate their understanding of a scientific principle or theory by putting it in their own words, or summarizing what someone else (like a research team at Johns Hopkins) may have discovered. Great idea, Mr. Discovering Science!
