What is bitstrips?

Picture
Bitsrips.com is a comic designing homepage. Students can easily create their own comic, including countless options and ways to change the setting, the characters and different objects within the pictures. One starts by choosing the number of pictures. Then, one can decide about the setting of each of them. There is a big amount of backgrounds and a huge number of different characters. One can also create one's own character, which could take a long time because the ways of changing it's appearance is very big. The position, gesture, facial expression and even the finger position of each character can as well be changed as the position, color or feature of almost all items in the picture. Different speech bubbles can also be added.
Bitstrips.com is a very handy tool for creating a comic. Using it at school, the students can train their creativity and media skills. Combined with contents from the curriculum this tool can also help to gain the interest of the students in a topic in an interesting way. An example for that can be seen in the "Presenting Contnet" part of my homepage.
Because of it's selfexplanory way and its easy structure bitstrips.com can be understood and used very easily although it has that many features. It is for free and a very good alternative when there are extra lessons or as a bonus for the class. A teacher could also use it for his/her own preparation of a class. He/she could create a short comic and use it for the introduction or other parts of a lesson. For most students comics are more interesting than pure texts or theories and could help to access a topic easier.
