"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 just wanted to let you know that my students love Bitstrips for Schools! What an awesome and safe teaching tool. My kids think that I am the greatest. Thanks so much for creating such an engaging website. My writing program is going to soar!"

- Michele Zoccoli, Virgil Public School

"I used Bitstrips for Schools with my students and they LOVE it. They were absolutely engaged and motivated to create characters and strips."

- Michelle Parrish, Golden Learning Center

"Phenomenal...The kids absolutely love it and I believe this is a great tool to help develop language and media literacy skills. The collaboration amongst children is unreal. The fact that students can share their comics and post comments as well as flag inappropriate comics by others is really wonderful too."

- Ray Mirshahi, Timberbank Clicker Center Coordinator

"I would put it up there as one of the best education apps of all time."

- Royan Lee, grade 6 teacher, Charles Howitt Public 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."

- Diana Maliszewski, Agnes Macphail Public School

"I am raving about Bitstrips for Schools to any colleague I can reach. I am totally blown away by it. It opens up a whole new way of communicating to children who are not artists. And it allows a better balance of time spent creating the graphic and composing the words. i.e. it's a great way to motivate writing. It's really easy to use - kids figure it out themselves and yes, even teachers can figure it out themselves. I love it."

- Rick Hay, Maurice Cody Junior Public School

"Yesterday students turned in their Lit projects, which were comic strips depicting scenes from Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility ... Bitstrips has been a very nice addition to my teaching units. The kids enjoy a change of pace, and visual literacy is becoming a very real component of the curriculum. Thanks for providing such a timely service."

- Louise Zimmerman, Saint Edward's School, Vero Beach

"I love this program. It is user friendly and it's great how students can share their work."

- Judy Stoner, G C Huston Public School

"I think Bitstrips for Schools is excellent and the kids absolutely LOVE it."

- Melissa Clarke, Tweedsmuir Public School

"It's not often you hear cheers 'yay!' when you tell your class they're going to be writing summaries ... but you do when you tell them they get to write their summary as a comic in Bitstrips...Bitstrips for Schools is a great motivational tool for reluctant writers. Students who would normally shut down at the thought of a traditional writing assignment end up asking to stay in at recess to work on their comics. Knowing that I have something to help differentiate for those students and sustain their interest in a classroom task makes my job a little easier."

- Lindsay Porter, Byngmount Beach Public School

"My students are addicted to this program. I could hardly keep them off it, and they were happy to have new assignments and complete them so they could share with the rest of the classes. Having a purpose in playing really kept them interested in what they were doing...Some of my most highly reluctant writers were among the first to accomplish the assignments I gave, and proved that they can write after all. With this program students don't have to be limited by their drawing talent. And the feature where we can upload and even search for our own images will mean that anything we can think up is possible!"

- Shannon Powell, Central Montcalm Middle School
