Using Animation to Educate
As an adult with the attention span of a sand flea, I always find a comic book version helpful when faced with complexity-- just for a quick overview, of course. Even though I fully intend to read the original Shakespearean play, scientific article, fill in the blank, a well done comic orients me, and helps me to vamp at cocktail parties while I''m getting around to reading the original source.
Recently I stumbled across two comics of the explanatory variety concerning topics about which one should be informed as a good citizen You may feel free to skip these, if you understand already..
The first is a simple explanation of net neutrality -- or, if you can relate more effectively to humans, Ask a Ninja explains it too
The second is a five part NPR series (although I cannot for the life of me find the fifth section) All About Carbon as in carbon footprint -- scroll around for all the parts.
Off for the weekend, and all those cocktail parties.
