Glad you like Bitstrips.<br /> Good information about the minimum age requirement. Yes it will limit application of this particular tool for the younger grades, but keep in mind compulsory education serves learners 14-18 by law and many schools have adult literacy programs as well.</p> <p>Indeed today it is wise to provide age restrictions for Internet resources, as in this case browsing the content of Bitstrips website might surface content not appropriate for 8 year olds. </p> <p>Thanks again for the feedback and for listening.<br /> Mark and Kathy</p> HI Peter-
Great to hear from you in Australia! Glad you like Bitstrips.
Good information about the minimum age requirement. Yes it will limit application of this particular tool for the younger grades, but keep in mind compulsory education serves learners 14-18 by law and many schools have adult literacy programs as well.

Indeed today it is wise to provide age restrictions for Internet resources, as in this case browsing the content of Bitstrips website might surface content not appropriate for 8 year olds.

Thanks again for the feedback and for listening.

It's very cool. I noticed that one has to be 14 to join up, so it limits its usefulness for schools. I just checked out BitStrips. It’s very cool.

That's all I ever see done. I think that the really good learning is done by people working there and creating things. The learning is not necessarily visible because it's in the conversations that happen along with the interaction. Bravo on your comment on the SL session. That’s all I ever see done.

Glad you enjoyed this episode as well. Educators who are vibrant learners will be terrific teachers! Their excitement about learning is contagious- Students perceive true values easily- they see through falsehood/shams don't they?? I approach teacher education with an emphasis on creating opportunities where teacher ed students and teachers discover that their reflections about their learning experiences are the foundation of their insights for teaching. Isn't that a large part of from which our philosophy of education grows? The bionic professor, Kathy 8-) Thanks Joselyn

I have often thought that the litmus test for a teacher entering an undergraduate teachers' ed program might be to somehow evaluate one's willingness to be a lifelong adult learner. Do teachers need to be some of our most proficient, ardent learners? I think so. Cheers, and Kathy, glad the pain pump is pumping. Hope you are both well. - Joselyn Kathy and Mark- Great podcast.
