Bitstirps comics

Wow Bitstrips is fun, wish I was a kid again!! If learning could be this much fun especially for the struggling learner this tool would be very useful for motivation and engaging for the child. The programme was user friendly and very creative. I can see it being a very motivational tool for children to use as rewards for work achieved.

The teacher could use this for worksheets and class posters. It almost makes workbooks obsolete! Well maybe not quite but the children could even make their own worksheets which would be a useful evaluation tool for what they have understood.
Technologically savvy children of today would get a handle on this in no time and probably be using it at home and connecting with friends after school.

  1. Miriam it certainly is a great programme. Both teachers and students would find it really engaging and I could see a great deal of potential for classroom use. However, you would make sure that you didn't just use it as a reward for early finishers as we both know that some students never fall into that category.

    I love your comic strip - it reminds me of the time I used the Principal's coffee cup!
