Bitstrips

Bitstrips allows you to create and share your own comic strips online. You can bitsrip anything from funny jokes to politics and the best part is you don't have to be an amazing drawer to do it! Bitstrips is a creative, user friendly, fun way to animate your stories online.

I feel there is a real opportunity to use bitstrips in the classroom as an ENGAGING educational tool (bet you'd never thought you'd see those two words together!). By introducing Bitstrips into your lessons you are allowing children to engage and develop skills in:

  • Technology and Enterprise- creating meaningful comic strips using a which can be shared with the world,
  • The Arts- creative thought and design,
  • English- writing dialogue,
  • and much more....
It is also a fun way to visually display classroom rules and alike. The possibilities are endless with this tool!

  1. Scratcher I am certainly enjoying reading your posts. You have an easy to read writing style which is perfect for blogs. Your posts provide interesting summaries of the tools you have been playing with.

    I really liked Bitstrip also. Both teachers and students would find them very engaging. They would be a great way to convey concepts and introduce ideas.
