What parents need to knowParents need to know that kids have to register and submit a username, password, and age to use Bitstrips. If kids say they're under 13, they're asked to submit a parent's email address. During the verification process, parents can check a box to let their child publish comics that anyone can see on the site or choose not to. Parents can also allow or prevent their kids from sending and receiving friend requests, chatting with other friends, sending and receiving messages from other users, or prevent their kids from viewing and posting comments.
What kids can learn3Kids can learn communication, reading, self-expression, and storytelling skills. Bitstrips makes it easy for budding Botticellis and kids who aren't artistically inclined to share their thoughts. The strongest lessons come from Bitstrips for Schools, which only educational institutions can access. Kids are empowered by the ability to create cool-looking cartoons and share their work with a community of peers.
