I bought an issue

那本漫畫書改變了我的人生。

The combination of words and pictures

在我的腦中產生了某種效應，

that had never been done before,

16520
1536
那是前所未有的，
00:32
and I immediately fell in love
with the medium of comics.
with the medium of comics.
6
18080
3696
我馬上就愛上了漫畫的表現方式。
00:35
I became a voracious comic book reader,
7
21800
3176
我變成了狼吞虎嚥級的
漫畫書讀者，
漫畫書讀者，
00:39
but I never brought them to school.
8
25000
1696
但我從未帶它們去學校。
00:40
Instinctively, I knew that comic books
didn't belong in the classroom.
didn't belong in the classroom.
9
26720
5816
我直覺地知道
漫畫書並不屬於教室。
00:46
My parents definitely were not fans,
10
32560
2416
我父母肯定不是漫畫書迷，
00:49
and I was certain that my teachers
wouldn't be either.
wouldn't be either.
11
35000
3096
我很確定我的老師們也不會是。
00:52
After all, they never used them to teach,
12
38120
2256
畢竟，他們從來沒有
用漫畫書來教書，
用漫畫書來教書，
00:54
comic books and graphic novels were never
allowed during silent sustained reading,

14
44320

在年度的書展也不會販售它們。
01:01
Even so, I kept reading comics,
15
47840
2576
即使如此，我仍持續閱讀漫畫書，
01:04
and I even started making them.
16
50440
1616
我甚至開始畫漫畫。
01:06
Eventually I became
a published cartoonist,

17

最終，我變成了
有作品出版的漫畫家，

18
55120
2800
靠寫和畫漫畫書維生。
01:12
I also became a high school teacher.
19
58680
2256
我也成了一名高中教師。
01:14
This is where I taught:
20
60960
1296
這是我教書的地方：
01:16
Bishop O'Dowd High School
in Oakland, California.
in Oakland, California.
21
62280
2816
加州奧克蘭的主教奥多德高中。
01:19
I taught a little bit of math
and a little bit of art,
and a little bit of art,
22
65120
2536
我教一點點數學和一點點藝術，
01:21
but mostly computer science,
23
67680
1376
但主要是教資訊科學，
01:23
and I was there for 17 years.
24
69080
2416
我已經在那裡教了 17 年。
01:25
When I was a brand new teacher,
25
71520
1856
當我還是新老師時，
01:27
I tried bringing comic books
into my classroom.
into my classroom.
26
73400
3136
我試圖把漫畫書帶到我的教室裡。
01:30
I remember telling my students
on the first day of every class
on the first day of every class
27
76560
3096
我記得，我在每堂課的
第一天就告訴學生
第一天就告訴學生
01:33
that I was also a cartoonist.
28
79680
2096
我也是漫畫家。
01:35
It wasn't so much that I was planning
to teach them with comics,
to teach them with comics,
29
81800
3096
重點不是我打算用漫畫來教導他們，
01:38
it was more that I was hoping comics
would make them think that I was cool.
would make them think that I was cool.
30
84920
4016
重點比較在於，我希望
漫畫會讓他們覺得我很酷。
漫畫會讓他們覺得我很酷。
01:42
(Laughter)
31
88960
1416
（笑聲）
01:44
I was wrong.
32
90400
1376
我錯了。
01:45
This was the '90s,
33
91800
1976
這是 90 年代，
01:47
so comic books didn't have
the cultural cachet that they do today.
the cultural cachet that they do today.
34
93800
4296
漫畫書不像現今有受到文化認可。
01:52
My students didn't think I was cool.
They thought I was kind of a dork.
They thought I was kind of a dork.
35
98120
3936
我的學生並沒有覺得我很酷。
他們覺得我是某種呆子。
他們覺得我是某種呆子。
01:56
And even worse,
when stuff got hard in my class,
when stuff got hard in my class,
36
102080
2896
更糟的是，當我在課堂上
教比較難的內容時，
教比較難的內容時，
01:59
they would use comic books
as a way of distracting me.
as a way of distracting me.
37
105000
3296
他們會用漫畫書來當作
讓我分心的方式。
讓我分心的方式。
02:02
They would raise their hands
and ask me questions like,
and ask me questions like,
38
108320
2616
他們會舉手並問我像這樣的問題：
02:04
"Mr. Yang, who do you think
would win in a fight,
would win in a fight,
39
110960
2336
「楊老師，你認為若超人和浩克
對打，誰會贏？」
02:07
Superman or the Hulk?"
40
113320
1256
02:08
(Laughter)
41
114600
1016
（笑聲）
02:09
I very quickly realized I had to keep
my teaching and my cartooning separate.
my teaching and my cartooning separate.
42
115640
5056
我很快就發現，
我得把教學和漫畫給切割開。
我得把教學和漫畫給切割開。
02:14
It seemed like my instincts
in fifth grade were correct.
in fifth grade were correct.
43
120720
3416
我五年級時的直覺似乎是正確的。
02:18
Comic books didn't belong
in the classroom.
in the classroom.
44
124160
3040
漫畫書不屬於教室。
02:21
But again, I was wrong.
45
127800
1440
但，我又錯了。
02:23
A few years into my teaching career,
46
129800
2056
我的教學職涯開始了幾年之後，
02:25
I learned firsthand
the educational potential of comics.
the educational potential of comics.
47
131880
4896
我親身體會到漫畫的教育潛力。
02:30
One semester, I was asked to sub
for this Algebra 2 class.
for this Algebra 2 class.
48
136800
3536
有一個學期，我擔任
「代數 2」的代課老師。
「代數 2」的代課老師。
02:34
I was asked to long-term sub it,
and I said yes, but there was a problem.
and I said yes, but there was a problem.
49
140360
4296
學校希望我長期代課，
我說好，但有個問題。
我說好，但有個問題。
02:38
At the time, I was also
the school's educational technologist,
the school's educational technologist,
50
144680
3696
那時，我也是學校的
教育科學技術人員，
教育科學技術人員，
02:42
which meant every couple of weeks
51
148400
1896
意思就是說，每幾個星期，
02:44
I had to miss one or two periods
of this Algebra 2 class
of this Algebra 2 class
52
150320
3416
我就無法上一到兩堂
這門「代數 2」的課，
這門「代數 2」的課，
02:47
because I was in another classroom
helping another teacher
helping another teacher
53
153760
2816
因為那個時段我會
在其他教室協助其他老師
在其他教室協助其他老師
02:50
with a computer-related activity.
54
156600
2096
進行電腦相關的活動。
02:52
For these Algebra 2 students,
that was terrible.
that was terrible.
55
158720
3136
對於「代數 2」的學生來說，
這是很糟的狀況。
這是很糟的狀況。
02:55
I mean, having a long-term
sub is bad enough,
sub is bad enough,
56
161880
2616
我是指，有長期的
代課老師已經夠糟了，
代課老師已經夠糟了，
02:58
but having a sub for your sub?
That's the worst.
That's the worst.
57
164520
3120
但還有代課老師的
代課老師？那更糟。
代課老師？那更糟。
03:02
In an effort to provide some sort
of consistency for my students,
of consistency for my students,
58
168360
3856
為了給我的學生能有某種一致性，
03:06
I began videotaping
myself giving lectures.
myself giving lectures.
59
172240
2856
我開始把我自己
教課的過程拍攝下來。
教課的過程拍攝下來。
03:09
I'd then give these videos to my sub
to play for my students.
to play for my students.
60
175120
3616
接著我會把這些影片給我的
代課老師，放給我的學生看。
代課老師，放給我的學生看。
03:12
I tried to make these videos
as engaging as possible.
as engaging as possible.
61
178760
4456
我試著讓這些影片
盡可能有互動性和吸引力。
盡可能有互動性和吸引力。
03:17
I even included
these little special effects.
these little special effects.
62
183240
2136
我甚至加入了一些小小的特效。
03:19
For instance, after I finished
a problem on the board,
a problem on the board,
63
185400
2856
比如，當我在黑板上
解完了一個問題，
解完了一個問題，
03:22
I'd clap my hands,
64
188280
1616
我會拍手，
03:23
and the board would magically erase.
65
189920
2416
然後黑板就會
魔法般地自動擦乾淨。
魔法般地自動擦乾淨。
03:26
(Laughter)
66
192360
1416
（笑聲）
03:27
I thought it was pretty awesome.
67
193800
1560
我覺得那樣很棒。
03:30
I was pretty certain
that my students would love it,
that my students would love it,
68
196160
2856
我很確定我的學生會喜歡，
03:33
but I was wrong.
69
199040
1216
但我錯了。
03:34
(Laughter)
70
200280
1376
（笑聲）
03:35
These video lectures were a disaster.
71
201680
2856
影片教學是場災難。
03:38
I had students coming up to me
and saying things like,
and saying things like,
72
204560
2576
有學生來找我，說這樣的話：
03:41
"Mr. Yang, we thought
you were boring in person,
you were boring in person,
73
207160
2256
「楊老師，我們以為
你本人已經夠無趣了，
你本人已經夠無趣了，
03:43
but on video, you are just unbearable."
74
209440
3456
但在影片中，
你實在讓人忍無可忍。」
你實在讓人忍無可忍。」
03:46
(Laughter)
75
212920
1616
（笑聲）
03:48
So as a desperate second attempt,
I began drawing these lectures as comics.
I began drawing these lectures as comics.
76
214560
5336
我做了絕望的第二次嘗試，
我開始把教學畫成漫畫。
我開始把教學畫成漫畫。
03:53
I'd do these very quickly
with very little planning.
with very little planning.
77
219920
2456
我沒做什麼計畫，
只用很短的時間完成它。
只用很短的時間完成它。
03:56
I'd just take a sharpie,
draw one panel after the other,
draw one panel after the other,
78
222400
2816
我只是拿起一枝 Sharpie 筆，
一張又一張畫下去，
一張又一張畫下去，
03:59
figuring out what I wanted
to say as I went.
to say as I went.
79
225240
2696
一邊畫一邊想接下來
我想要說什麼。
我想要說什麼。
04:01
These comics lectures would come out
80
227960
1736
完成的漫畫教學
04:03
to anywhere between
four and six pages long,
four and six pages long,
81
229720
2096
長度在四到六頁長。
04:05
I'd xerox these, give them to my sub
to hand to my students.
to hand to my students.
82
231840
4976
我會影印它們，拿給我的
代課老師，轉交給我的學生。
代課老師，轉交給我的學生。
04:10
And much to my surprise,
83
236840
2216
出乎我的意料，
04:13
these comics lectures were a hit.
84
239080
2816
這些漫畫教學大受歡迎。
04:15
My students would ask me
to make these for them
to make these for them
85
241920
3536
我的學生希望我能畫更多，
04:19
even when I could be there in person.
86
245480
2936
即使是我不用請代課的時候。
04:22
It was like they liked cartoon me
more than actual me.
more than actual me.
87
248440
4096
彷彿他們喜歡卡通的我
勝過真正的我。
勝過真正的我。
04:26
(Laughter)
88
252560
2056
（笑聲）
04:28
This surprised me, because my students
are part of a generation
are part of a generation
89
254640
3696
這讓我很驚訝，
因為我的學生是屬於
因為我的學生是屬於
看螢幕長大的世代，
04:32
that was raised on screens,
90
258360
1895
04:34
so I thought for sure they would like
learning from a screen
learning from a screen
91
260279
3217
我以為他們肯定會
比較喜歡從螢幕上學習，
比較喜歡從螢幕上學習，
04:37
better than learning from a page.
92
263520
2536
多於從頁面上學習。
04:40
But when I talked to my students
93
266080
1656
但當我和我的學生談到
04:41
about why they liked
these comics lectures so much,
these comics lectures so much,
94
267760
3216
他們為什麼這麼
喜歡這些漫畫教學時，
喜歡這些漫畫教學時，
04:45
I began to understand
the educational potential of comics.
the educational potential of comics.
95
271000
4376
我開始了解到漫畫的教育潛力。
04:49
First, unlike their math textbooks,
96
275400
2616
首先，不像他們的數學教科書，
04:52
these comics lectures taught visually.
97
278040
2576
這些漫畫教學以「視覺」方式呈現。
04:54
Our students grow up in a visual culture,
98
280640
2816
我們的學生生長在視覺文化當中，
04:57
so they're used to taking in
information that way.
information that way.
99
283480
2736
他們很習慣用那種方式
來取得資訊。
來取得資訊。
05:00
But unlike other visual narratives,
100
286240
2776
但不像其他視覺型的敘事方式，
05:03
like film or television
or animation or video,
or animation or video,
101
289040
4816
比如電影、電視、動畫，或影片，
05:07
comics are what I call permanent.
102
293880
2856
漫畫是我所謂「永久的」。
05:10
In a comic, past, present and future
all sit side by side on the same page.
all sit side by side on the same page.
103
296760
5656
在漫畫中，過去、現在，和未來
都能肩併肩出現在同一張頁面上。
都能肩併肩出現在同一張頁面上。
05:16
This means that the rate
of information flow
of information flow
104
302440
3416
那就表示資訊流的速度
05:19
is firmly in the hands of the reader.
105
305880
2720
是讀者自己能完全掌控的。
05:23
When my students didn't understand
something in my comics lecture,
something in my comics lecture,
106
309560
4016
如果我的漫畫教學中
有某些東西我的學生不了解，
有某些東西我的學生不了解，
05:27
they could just reread that passage
as quickly or as slowly as they needed.
as quickly or as slowly as they needed.
107
313600
4216
他們可以重讀那一段，
要快要慢就看他們的需求。
要快要慢就看他們的需求。
05:31
It was like I was giving them
a remote control over the information.
a remote control over the information.
108
317840
3976
就像是我給了他們
一個搖控器可以控制那些資訊。
一個搖控器可以控制那些資訊。
05:35
The same was not true
of my video lectures,
of my video lectures,
109
321840
2896
我的影片教學就不是如此了，
05:38
and it wasn't even true
of my in-person lectures.
of my in-person lectures.
110
324760
2776
連我親自去做的教學也不是如此。
05:41
When I speak, I deliver the information
as quickly or slowly as I want.
as quickly or slowly as I want.
111
327560
4736
當我說話時，我依照我想要的
快慢速度將資訊傳遞出去。
快慢速度將資訊傳遞出去。
05:46
So for certain students
and certain kinds of information,
and certain kinds of information,
112
332320
3376
所以，對某些學生
及某些種類的資訊而言，
及某些種類的資訊而言，
05:49
these two aspects of the comics medium,
its visual nature and its permanence,
its visual nature and its permanence,
113
335720
4936
漫畫媒材的這兩個面向，
視覺性的本質以及永久性，
視覺性的本質以及永久性，
05:54
make it an incredibly powerful
educational tool.
educational tool.
114
340680
3656
讓它成為非常強大的教育工具。
05:58
When I was teaching this Algebra 2 class,
115
344360
1976
當我在教「代數 2」的課時，
06:00
I was also working on my master's
in education at Cal State East Bay.

我同時也在加州州立大學

東灣分校攻讀教育碩士學位。
06:04
And I was so intrigued by this experience
that I had with these comics lectures

117
350600
4056
因為漫畫教學帶給我的
這項經驗讓我大感好奇，

06:08
that I decided to focus
my final master's project on comics.

118
354680
5096
我決定我碩士學位的最後一個
專案計畫就要用這個題材。
專案計畫就要用這個題材。
06:13
I wanted to figure out
why American educators
why American educators
119
359800
2976
我希望能探究為什麼美國的教育家
06:16
have historically been so reluctant
to use comic books in their classrooms.
to use comic books in their classrooms.
120
362800
5216
在歷史上一直不願意
把漫畫書用在教室中。
把漫畫書用在教室中。
06:22
Here's what I discovered.
121
368040
2096
我的發現如下。
06:24
Comic books first became
a mass medium in the 1940s,
a mass medium in the 1940s,
122
370160
2656
漫畫書最早是在 40 年代
變成大眾媒體，
