Bitstrips for Schools

Bitstrips
Our Ministry contacts have alerted us that Bitstrips for Schools has suddenly decided to cancel their web product as of August 31st, 2016. (However, they seem to have disconnected it earlier!) The ministry hopes that Bitstrips may re-consider providing an Educational solution in the future. For a comparable program, students in Halton have been using the Google Drive connected app Powtoon for Education and also, using comic strip templates in Google Drawing. 

A quick note from Ms Fink: 
I understand that at some point teachers will get an archive of past student work from Bitstrips. If that happens I may be able to send some information to students. I suspect that Snapchat recently buying Bitstrips may be responsible for the sudden end of this program. 

If you are a new parent checking out this blog. I will have information posted soon for you! Have to set up the classroom first :)
