I have been using smilebox for years. 

You can easily post your creations to  your website, blog, facebook page, 

or email it to parents of your students.

Great for Year End Memory Book or DVD.

Here are some ways I have used Smilebox.

1. Collages - I snap pictures of students the very first day of school.  Slide the pictures into a collage template and email it to parents after school to ease their jitters. They see the smiles on their child's face at school and know they are having fun.  This is especially great for preschool and kindergarten where mom and dad are letting their babies grow up and go to school.

2. Slideshows - I use this to document project work.  I take pictures throughout the project of students at various stages.  Parents can see their child applying skills, and new learning taking place. 

 I insert the pictures as slides and add text explaining the learning that took place along the way.

3. Scrapbooks - I use scrapbook pages to show pictures from parties, special events, theme days, or to create memory pages. These are pages that can be created from templates that allow you to insert several pictures per page, add text, change colors, change embellishments, and add music.

 Here are some examples of how I used 

Smilebox in my classroom.

Just click on the play button to view. They take less than a minute to download, but they give you an idea on how each creation is different.
