I found Bitstrips to be a fun tool to make comics with. It was simple and easy to use, with a lot of different options in things such as character movement. Although there were certain things that could have been better, such as more variety in scenes, and clothes, and props. Overall it was a good experience in making a comic with Bitstrips.
A teacher could use Bitstrips for a social studies project by creating an assignment where students in the class are able to create a comic within the class. For example, the topic could be a comic to persuade someone to act on an environmental issue, so they read all the criteria in the teacher's assignment, then create the comic for it. The grade level of the assignment would depend on the class, and the assignments can be made for primary, intermediate, and secondary students.
Great idea for use in a class!
