The Professor Garfield Foundation is a not-for-profit educational collaboration between several companies and Ball State University, a nationally recognized leader in teacher training and digital education.
Their mission is to be a free delivery of innovative and motivational digital learning content with a primary emphasis on children's literacy and creative expression.
According to Thomas (200), Web 2.0 technologies signal the need to move toward a greater emphasis on digital literacy skills. Therefore, an online comic-maker such as Professor Garfield Foundation can make the writing process much more exciting and interesting. By creating comics, students can demonstrate their understanding of a topic. Also, the structure of this genre requires students to master clear and concise communication.
Apart from that, according to Peachey (2010), one of the main perks of this webpage is that students can create genuine products, in a wide range and combination of media to high standards, which can have a real audience, such as their peers, parents or teachers.
In all, this webpage will accomplish this by creating fun and educationally interactive activities and games where kids like to play supplemented with standards-based resources for teachers, parents and mentors.
