Cool School Tool

I recently discovered www.smilebox.com. This website is a free internet tool that allows you to upload pictures into online slide shows, scrapbooks, photo albums and greetings. How cool is this for creating student portfolios and fostering a close-knit classroom community? This fun and easy-to-use online tool makes it easy to upload to teacher websites and blogs. View my sample scrapbook below:

Personalize your own scrapbook

Use these photo masterpieces to:

• Display a student's portfolio
• Make presentations to parents during Open House
• Showcase thematic units 
• Capture school events - field day, field trips, and discovery learning activities
• Remember the school year on the last day of school

* Always make sure to have parent permission before uploading photos of a student to a teacher-created website.
