We've been freeloading off our teachers' Boardmaker by having them print stuff for us to use at home (or duplicate the boards they use at school). <a href="http://www.mayer-johnson.com/" target="blank" rel="nofollow">Boardmaker</a> is awesome, but it's so astronomically and outrageously expensive that no one without a corporate or government budget can afford it. Boo on them. Anyway, so we either ask our teachers to help us make schedules and picture boards or we try to find places like Do2Learn and the links you mentioned so we can afford to make these ourselves. For a long time, I've wanted to go get some venture capital, build a better and cheaper Boardmaker, and run them out of business. Nothing personal, but charging $350 for software that frankly isn't all that technologically complicated is pretty obscene in my opinion. Assistive technology companies are making out like bandits in most cases. Boo on them too. Anyway, I think I'll add compiling a list of these sites to my to-do list. You've got me started!
