Looking for a way to inspire learning while having fun? We’ve got the answer: cartoons!
Why Cartoons Work
Using cartoons in the classroom helps educators connect with their students, start conversation, and make complex topics easier to understand. The dopamine surge students receive from laughter or the hint of something unexpected invites their attention.
Cartoons are the attention-grabbing easy button:
- Students pay attention to cartoons because even captive audiences enjoy humor
- Cartoons appeal to people whose attention span can be measured in nanoseconds.
- Laughter triggers a release of dopamine into our system, and dopamine improves our ability to remember.
- Graphics draw the eye and the puzzle of linking visuals with words to understand a joke kicks the brain into high gear.
