Today we looked at Bitstrips.
It was great, I found it very educational and it is something I will consider using when I become a teacher.
I liked how it gives the students an opportunity to create characters and comic strips, and it can be used in a number of learning areas. It is an active hands on approach to learning and we were able to see you tube videos of students using the program and they really enjoyed it.
I can see a class using it and having lots of fun creating different characters.
In terms of the technology it was easy to use and easy to explain how to use, and it can be simplified (just getting them to make one slide) or made harder (making 2 or 3 or 4 slides)
The presentation was great and the group presenting did a fabulous job.
This is something that we use everyday in a similar program of Facebook, and this program is one children can enjoy to.
Bye for now

Caris I totally agree with your blog post - I thought Bitstrip was a great tool and could see a great deal of potential for classroom use.
ReplyDeleteI also thought the presenters did a great job teaching us how to use Bitstrip. I would like to see the comic strip you created. Why don't you include it here?
