Kristin Jonsson says
This looks like a good program that DC is offering. However, I am disappointed that it seems to be something kids can only access through social media. Since students have to be 13 years old before signing up for both Twitter and Instagram, this restricts access to many students whose parents don't have or want Twitter or Instagram accounts.

I agree with Kristin. I know many of my MS students have Instagram and/or Twitter accounts, but not all do and not all parents will allow them to. I do wish this was also a website, it would allow more students to access the really cool content.
Claudia Palframan says
I agree with Kristin, the age requirements limits use for my middle school students (and I know many have accounts). Having the same content on a website would increase access.

Instagram and Twitter are instant ways for DC to post this cool and thoughtful content and make it instantly accessible to most people. Building a website or even a page on a website takes a lot of time.
Thank you, DC Comics, for taking the time and energy to put this together for all of the kids stuck at home.
