Skitch testimonial - mine and Kirsten's from the site

In preparing course materials, task-based student learning projects, and academic presentations, I have come to find Skitch a useful tool to getting 'pieces' of the web into those products.

Skitch illustrates a new type of computer software combined with Web 2.0 Netapp (Internet application) that can harness the best of both. It is very versatile in what you can accomplish and also for what purpose and allows various working/learning styles to operate independently.
