StoryJumper

Storyjumper.com is a web-based tool that lets students create an online book with background scenes, props and characters, uploaded images, and text on digital pages.  There is a free education version that allows teachers to create student accounts.  Finished stories are viewed on the computer and pages can be virtually ‘flipped’ beautifully, but can also be printed off on paper.  These finished stories show beautifully on a large classroom display.  How can Storyjumper.com offer this service absolutely free?  Paragraph taken from http://maasd.edublogs.org/digital-storytelling/web-based-digital-storytelling-tools-online-interactives/
