Nancy Silberkleit: Comic books can be an academic resource

 This is from InkTalks http://www.inktalks.com. The lady makes a lot of sense and with Classical Comics seemingly gone (?) and nothing being heard from Dalen Books, the two best comic education  sources are not filling that gap.





Nancy Silberkleit believes that a teacher must come equipped with a toolbox that is filled with whatever can embrace the skill of reading. Silberkleit, a teacher who had never read a comic book herself, stepped out of the classroom and into the boardroom when her husband passed, and took on the role of Co-CEO at Archie Comics. Watch as she urges us to harness the power of visual image in comics books to communicate with today's world.
