A few days ago we received a request from one of our readers asking about iPad apps to draw Anime and manga. Below are some of the titles we would recommend. Anime is a great tool to use in class to motivate students and engage them in a variety of creative tasks. For those of you keen on learning how to use Anime in your instruction, we highly recommend this excellent journal article authored by Julie Ruble and Kim Lysne entitled ‘ The Animated Classroom: Using Japanese Anime to Engage and Motivate Students’.
