This is a wonderful site for links to classic biblical and rabbinic texts, in Hebrew and English. It is a fantastic resource for finding texts online and being able to "cut and paste". It has some weaknesses,since some of the links do not have search capabilities, and some do not have English translation for all the texts. It is a very useful site for webquests into classical Jewish texts, and for translation of such texts. It would be more useful if a search engine could be developed to use as a concordance for the texts covered. Note who publishes the site and how you think that affects its legitimacy or authenticity.

Storyboard That is a cutting edge Web 2.0 tool for rapidly creating amazing storyboards, no art skills needed. Great for business meetings and in the classroom for students to express their creativity. LL Note: If you want to print out the free version storyboard, it puts a big digital watermark across your pictures.

If I were going to use this on a regular basis, I'd ask my school to get us a subscription. It calls itself a storyboard program, but it really works much more like a comic strip. But it could be very useful for brainstorming in class. You can make 3 free storyboards a week, which might be enough for many of us. It's really easy to use, and you can customize some of the features with your choice of color.
