Comic Connections C made by Team Stegosaurus ( Sharath Sundar, Robert Gooding, Sausan Arebi and Taryn Dewar)

1. COMIC CONNECTIONS C (CCC) Team Stegosaurus

2. Introduction The connections Stegosaurus found and explored are cultural diversity , the concept of expertise , and magnetic poles . The objects lead to the theme of cultural diversity because they suggest someone learning Spanish interactively while a stale, static dictionary becomes obsolete, and doing so in an environment (wintry) unlike that found in most Spanish-speaking countries. The concept of expertise connects the three pieces of information because they all represent ways of learning, either formally or from experience; each is also a part of some greater body, be it a book, a deck of cards, or a photo collection . Each piece represents a little bit of learning; which has taught us that you do not need to be an expert to be able to think critically about something. Physically, all the objects are double-sided, with none having either more or less than two faces, in each object the faces are roughly equal. Magnetic poles are two-faced as well, like all the objects. We chose to do an electronic comic because of its universality. It is simple and mostly easily understood by practically anyone; however, we could also put more complex information at the bottom of each slide without disturbing the continuity. The form also relates to each of the connections chosen: narratives are common to all cultures, designing (and occasionally using) this kind of software requires considerable expertise, and electronics work by the principles of electromagnetism.

4. After overhearing Sharath, Robert joined into the conversation, spewing forth what was on his mind.

13. Sausan’s comment comes from the knowledge that there is less to learn from people whose experience is too similar to your own.
