Here are some of my favorites features on the site:

• The SMS text generator page lets you easily create an image of a phone displaying bubbles with SMS texts of your choice. Once you save it, you can print it as a single image onto paper, or you can share a unique URL with your students for them to see your pretend text dialogue appear line by line.
• The Fakebook page allows you to create a fake Facebook profile page.
• The Movietext page takes the text you enter, and uses it to create a StarWars-like movie intro.
