A new way to keep your students attention is by making learning fun! Instead of reading boring text books why not spruce it up by using http://www.bitstrips.com/. Bitstrips is a great tool to use in the classroom, create your own comic strips or use pre-made programs to help your students learn different topics. You can dress and design your own characters, give them actions & emotions, construct a script and create the background with different props. As a teacher you can sign up for $9.95/month or a school district can sign up $750/ year for 500 students or $1.50/ student. Not only can teachers create comic strips but, the students can make their own creations as well. Bitstrips also has activities made for all subjects including English, Science, Math, History, Social Studies, Art, Civics, Values of Education, Business & Law, Health & Phys-Ed, ESL & ELL and more. After using Bitstrips you can share your experience on the website’s blog, where you can read other’s opinions and offer your point of view. The website also provides testimonies from other teachers.
"Bitstrips for Schools is the best thing that has ever happened to my students. The students are so engaged, they don't even know how much they are learning."
- Beth Cantwell, St. Bernadine School
"I'm loving your site, as are my students. Your site really is turning my students (avid readers but reluctant writers) into kids who love to write at school and at home."
