The clip made could be used to introduce a number of ideas. For use in a computer lab, students can utilize this to show their understanding of vocabulary. I used fiend in the clip. The wanted poster that surfaces in the second portion shows there is a wanted man, or fiend. Lower elementary classroom teachers can put this to use by using the comic to strengthen their students’ abilities in visual discrimination. The caption could be changed to “What Missing”. Students would identify the phone booth as the missing object in clip two and they can also identify the poster as the missing object in clip one. Upper elementary classroom teachers could use this as a tool to teach the literary concept of irony. Instead of the lady being alarmed by the missing phone booth, she is overwhelmed and taken by the thought of the fiend removing the phone booth.
Now, these are just suggestions for the piece I created. Imagine what teachers and students could do with site. I am always a stickler for appropriate use in the classroom, this site as well as any other site with the ability of free verse usage needs to be monitored. Before students are allowed to publish from this site, I strongly suggest a review of what’s being uploaded.
This is too cool! I love how the video can be used for any grade level. I really like your suggestions for how to use in the classroom. These are realistic and can be implemented with ease. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great find! I mean, who doesn't love cartoons? Tamara is right, it could be used at any grade level as a way to spice up the classroom with some good ole' fashioned toons! I could see getting really creative with its use as well. I will have to sign up and try it out. Thanks!
