PicLits

Nothing inspires more than pictures. PicLits is that sort of inspiration.
There are a couple of modes for creating your own PicLits.
First, choose your picture background. Then, inspired by your image, create your PicLit on top of it.
You can drag and drop from a word list which works nicely with a SMART Board or you can go free style and type on top.
If you plan to save your PicLit, you will have to apply for an account (free). Once you subscribe, a regular newsletter serves as ongoing inspiration.
