SMILEBOX ! The students in my class guided
my decision to do more work with the Web 2.0 Tool SMILEBOX.
When I first introduced them to SMILEBOX I
showed them how to create a collage. Then I showed them the other options available
in the program. The holiday cards, calendars and e-cards really intrigued them.
During a class discussion everyone agreed that we should use SMILEBOX as a fundraiser. Everyone was motivated
and wanted to get right into working with the program. It was wonderful to see all the students so
excited. It was obvious that SMILEBOX has
much more to offer so I spent sometime looking at the other possibilities. This is a great Web 2.0 Tool. If you have not checked it out you definitely should.
The first screen at
SMILEBOX.COM has a design catalog full of
options. If took quite a while just to look through the catalog. You can use a
14 DAY FREE-TRIAL, or purchase a monthly membership @ $5.99 a month.
Making holiday
cards is fun because you need to take the time to look through photos and
choose the best ones for a card. The Koa Class design group reminisced as they
looked through our photos. It does take time to choose the best photos, however
it is time well spent.
We are hosting a
Thanksgiving luncheon in our classroom. This is the invitation we made using SMILEBOX. The step-by-step directions are clear
and easy to follow.
This is an example
of a SMILEBOX Christmas card. There are so many options for Christmas cards; we decided
to choose 5 templates for our fundraiser. This would give people a variety of
styles, and at the same time simplify our work.
