Storyboard That is an awesome website that lets students create digital stories using a variety of characters, backgrounds, and text bubbles. This site would be great for illustrating a story together on the SMART Board.

Check out the free Lesson Plans as well. Here's one for A Walk in the Desert (2nd grade Reading Street story). Thanks to the many folks sharing this resource on Twitter today!
