First, this is a story that I tell every year to my physics 11 class. It is a really valuable way to introduce the topic of two dimensional vectors. It gets the students to put themselves in a real life situation where they can really picture independent two dimensional vectors at work. Every time I tell this story I get the students to answer the question &#8220;why did they miss?&#8221; and usually every student gets it right. This always impresses me because this is one of the toughest topics that they face all year but they still <em>get it<\/em> right away.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason is a little less curricular. I like to tell this story because it is a (mostly true) account from my childhood and it is a great way to be more personal.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to use bitstrips for a number of reasons. First, the interface really impressed me. It was very easy to use right away. Second, I will be using this comic to tell my story to my online students and I think that this really conveys the intended message. In particular I wanted to use drawings to show the different velocity vectors at work (the car and the balloon). Lastly, now that I&#8217;ve built my characters on bitstrips it will be really easy to make more comics to relate other stories I have.<\/p>\n<p>The main limit that I ran into using bitstrips was the artwork\/props that they had available for story telling. With a little creative use of some of the props that were made available it was able to work it out. I did find bitstrips for schools which allows access to flickr photos which means the possibilities could be almost endless&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my story: My rationale for telling this story is two-fold.
