Bitstrips


Bitstrips is an online application that allows users to create and publish their own cartoons. Characters can be created that are based on yourself or anyone you know... or even start from scratch.
It has huge educational benfits in the classroom and students will be automatically engaged through using this fun application.
Teachers can create a classroom account so they are able to monitor student work and guide further learning.
Students can show their understanding of a topic and teachers can then assess whether theyneed further explanation.
Posting comments on cartoons can be helpful for teachers so they can ensure students have read required information and posted a comment.
I think it's a great fun way to engage and motivate learners.

  1. Yes Lorraine I agree - it is a great way to engage students. I think you can do so much with it in the classroom context. What a fabulous way for the teacher to introduce a concept or task and for students to demonstrate their understanding.
