Back to School: Canvastic v3.5
TUAW's going Back to School! We'll be bringing you tips and reviews for students, parents and teachers right up until the bell rings in September. Read on cool software for K-8 classrooms.Canvastic LLC has announced a new version of the Canvastic graphics, writing, and publishing tool. Canvastic is designed to be used in K-8 classrooms, and is fun and productive for students.
Canvastic 3.5 is designed for use on both PPC and Intel Macs (which is great, as many American schools still use older Macs). The student publishing tool includes drawing, text and presentation tools, plus an Audio Tool for voice recording, insertion of sounds and integration with iTunes. Audio tracks can be played in documents or presentations.
Other new features include:
- Transparency and color tones in graphics and text
- Teachers can enable or disable spell checking, and also keep students from "customizing" the dictionary
- New brush shapes
- The ability to import digital photographs
- Additional templates, backgrounds, and art

Neat, but a bit expensive for what's essentially an enhanced Paint combined with a page layout program.
