This is a really beautiful graphic novel . I think it may appeal to the adults as much as the middle/high school crowd. It is one of my favorites! The pictures are crazy great too! Enjoy.

Evernote is a fantastic app for students. Students can record text, images, and audio directly in Evernote. . This is a good place for all of student writing (even those pieces they don’t want to, or aren’t ready to, share). Evernote makes it easy to organize all of their notes into notebooks (the learning curve here is teaching students to use some organization).
The ability to record audio and take pictures of their work in Evernote is great. This means that students can capture learning that isn’t natively digital-digitally. Work you mond around that one!!
Enjoy

Check out this great new and free app that will boost student engagement and enthusiasm!!!
Technology is a gateway to reading. Basic visual and audio components like eBooks in conjunction with text or any number of reading apps supports word recognition and fluency. More specialized technology like Highlighter gives students the chance to practice reading comprehension tactics, like annotating and questioning text, and allows them to start and share discussions about the text with classmates and even publishers. This kind of tech does more than help students learn how to read.
