Educomics is a European Union Comenius Education Project under the LifeLong Learning Program.  It is building sets of resource materials for teachers based on research and piloting in EU schools, so that teachers will have clear examples and guides to use digital comics in their teaching practice.

Digital Comics in the classroom have been clearly seen to enhance learning to engage and motivate students.  For teachers it allows them to use a simple technology in a practical and effective way.

This Resource has been developed by the Department of Education and Science to assist post-primary schools in the promotion of gender equality using the strategy of gender mainstreaming.  Copies of this DVD are available from the Centre at Reception.
