Learner and Class Profile for Kristy Saunders’ Intermediate Classroom This is a class photo that I created using bitstrips for schools. You can log in to my classroom and create a comic on behalf of any of the students if you’d like to give it a try. The class code is ‘My555’ and all of the students’ passwords are also ‘My555’. Here is the website http://www.bitstripsforschools.com/login/ . Oh, I almost forgot to mention that bitstrips for schools is FREE to all Ontario teachers.
