More Fun with BitStrips

I was just playing around with BitStrips again. I have to think of some cool way to work this into my Physics class. The kids would love it.

Anyway, this strip illustrates why I don't eat my lunch in the faculty lunch room.

BitStrips

I just discovered Bitstrips. I think I read about it on BoingBoing. I'm not sure how I'd use it in education, but it is fun. Basically you create characters by choosing from a menu of features, or you can use characters that other people have already created. It's kind of like creating a Mii.

Once you have your cast you drop them into a comic strip and give them something to say. You can change their poses and expressions as you go. There is also a limited number of props available to help flesh out your strips. You can also make your stips/characters available for other people to use or re-edit allowing for a collaborative effort.

So far I've just been having fun reenacting some of my morning conversations with our new librarian who usually has a new idea for how we can revolutionize education in our building every day or so.
