There are few more entertaining ways to pass the time on a flight than to pull out your copy of Skymall and begin inscribing funny quotations and thought balloons above the heads of the models hawking their wears. StoryTop takes that concept and makes it web based.

StoryTop is a little JavaScript tool that lets you include elements from their library of people, animal, and background clipart and then assign text and comments to the action taking place. The site is very easy to use and very kid and teacher friendly. Drag elements onto the canvas to start manipulating them, drag them back into the library to delete them. You can even create stories that develop over multiple pages. Editing and changing the size of the elements is very easy and has virtually no learning curve.

The example of the left took just thirty seconds to build.

No signup is required but you can create an account to save your stories and share them with friends or groups.
