Cartoons are likely a form of
entertainment that your students are very familiar with. As a matter of fact,
every student in your class probably enjoys cartoons in some form. Teachers can
use Chogger to provide students to learn and work in an unfamiliar topic in a
funny and attractive way. Utilizing cartoons and comic strips in your classroom
is a way to meet students where they are at and allow to combine your goals
with their interests.
