Comic Life:
Reports and videos on "Digital Detox"

The assignment: go 24 hours with NO electronics: cell phone, computer, tv, radio, internet, mp3 player, ipod, etc., etc., etc. Then write a non-traditional, self-reflexive "report," using Comic Life. Some of the finished projects were printed comics books, some used Comic Life's ability to export a finished movie.

The projects were exhibited at the campus library, included with digital stories and oral histories in a campus discussion of "The Stories of Our Lives."
