The Big Box of Smiles



Digital collage customized with Smilebox

Smilebox is yet another addicting tool that I can find a million uses for, in and outside the classroom. There are so many cool features that allow you to do things like make a scrapbook, invitations and slide-shows. Smilebox is a short cut for people who have always wanted to find the time to make a scrapbook for a certain occasion and just did not have the time or money to put into it. Smilebox also allows you to make your own invitations to any event, who ever said you had to go out and spend a ton a money on invitations that will, lets be honest, end up in the trash. It is so quick and easy and it allows anyone to use it as long as you have internet access and pictures on your computer. I did find however, that there is one drawback to using Smilebox; you are limited to the number of pictures you can use in some of the formats. I got a little frustrated with this because I would find a background that I loved but I was not able to put all of the pictures I wanted to use in that specific background. Overall, Smilebox is a really fun way to present information to the class, whether it be an invitation to open house or a scrapbook of a field trip taken, there are many ways it can be incorporated in the class.
