Bitstrips for Schools Newsletter: June 2010

June 2010 Newsletter

Don't delete old classrooms - archive them!

Just in time for the end of the school year, we’ve added a new feature that lets you archive this year’s classrooms and make room for new ones!

Archiving is simple. To learn everything you need to know, read our FAQs - it only takes 60 seconds.

We are back in Ontario for 2010-11!

Amazing news - Bitstrips for Schools has been renewed by the Ministry of Education for every publicly funded school in Ontario for the next school year, including all 5,000+ schools and 2 million students!

Our first year has been incredibly exciting, with over 25,000 Ontario teachers joining the site, across over 80% of the province's schools. We are looking forward to showing the other 20% what all the excitement is about in September!

We're SMART Ready

If you use SMART Board interactive whiteboards in your school, get ready to take comic-making to a whole new level!

We're now SMART Ready, which means that Bitstrips for Schools has been recognized as being even more interactive and easy to use on a SMART Board than it is on a standard computer-projector setup.

Try it out the next time you use a SMART Board with your class - we're sure the results will be spectacular!

Bitstrips for Schools Comics Gallery

We had hundreds of submissions for our call-out for your best student comics. Thanks to all of you who shared your kids' amazing work with us.

We'd loved to have published them all, but had to whittle them down to just a handful. Check out our gallery to see some inspiring work!

Meet us at ISTE

We're excited to be heading to Denver at the end of the month for our first ISTE conference, the world's biggest meeting of experts in education and technology.

Thousands of teachers will be there, and if you are among them, we would love to meet you in person! Come see us on the exhibit floor, or email shahan@bitstripsforschools.com.

See you in Denver!
