Montclair, New Jersey media specialist and comics creator Peter Gutierrez has gained my attention and the notice of the NCTE Inbox for his words about using comics to teach media literacy. Posted on the Diamond Bookshelf website in the "School Articles" section, the piece "make[s] the argument for revisiting comics as an inherently effective teaching gateway to a variety of media as well as a means to address broader issues of process and the role of media in society."
Compelling, and completely agreeable to the views of EN/SANE world, it may be read in full here.
OK, I'm off to send Mr. G an e-mail about my SANE SIG idea....
