In this episode we chat with Tim Smyth, a Social Studies secondary school teacher from the east coast of the US, our first international guest, who’s been using comics and graphic novels as teaching tools for years.
We discuss how he got into comics, what made him start using them in the classroom, the great benefits of comics in teaching literacy and Tim gives us some of his top tips for teachers who are thinking of starting to use comics in the classroom.
You can find out more about Tim and his teaching resources, which he makes freely available online, on his website: http://www.historycomics.net
