And then there were none

Patrice Troutman’s high school English classes were reading this classic novel and decided to use smore to create an online flier (to either entice folks to visit Indian Island or to stay far away).   Here are some samples (use the scroll bar on the side to view the entire flier):

Smore in the newspaper

After reading Number the Stars, a class created smores as newspapers.  They were told the war had ended and to write an article describing the return of the Danish Jews.  Here are three samples- use the scroll bars to see the entire product.

Smore and the worms

These posters were created during one period in a middle school science classroom using smore.

No campfire for these smores!

Want a stress-free way to share text, images, maps, links, and sounds?  Check out Smore- this site makes it easy to create flyers for online or print.  As a test, I took a recent assignment (construct a brochure for a European trip) and created the output in Smore (see below).  While there are premade templates, you can also start with a blank screen and design your own format.  When your flyer is complete, you can link, embed or print.  The link worked perfectly in edmodo yet I did have to tweak the size when I embedded the sample. You do need an email account to sign up for a free account.  When working with the students, I have created a new Gmail account just for Smore.  Several students can access the account with one username/password. There are several paid versions- the biggest modification is in the number of emails you can send (and some of the customer support features).  I’ve already line up a few other teachers (inventors, Civil War) - how could you use Smore?
