I found a work-around for that: take a screen shot, then edit that picture as you need to. Short term, for small projects, it's workable.

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.

This list addresses the level of technology our students are experiencing in their daily lives and allows Jewish Educators to better implement technology in the classroom.
