Tech+Tool+1



Smore is an awesome way to create online flyers for FREE. Plus, it is so easy to use. There are templates provided for different purposes or you can start from a blank template (on the right). After you choose your template, the website walks you through various steps, like choosing a title, incorporating text, adding pictures, etc. You can even add audio/video and links. Once you complete your flyer, you can share it with other people via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

In the classroom, Smore can be a very useful and fun tool. Teachers can teach students about advertising and then ask them to create flyers for their own business, event, etc., or they can teach students about news articles and ask students to create their own. I also think that this can be a fun way for students to make a personal biography flyer. What I like about Smore is that students can easily add pictures, videos, links, etc. even if they are not familiar with technology, creating websites and wikis, etc. Smore will walk students through each step. Once students publish their flyers, they can share them with each other and leave comments below each other's flyers. Teachers can use this element to promote lively discussions.
