Smore

Exploring on a new website I found, Smore, this could be a great tool in the classroom!  On Smore, you can design and publish flyers.  This would be fun for students to make flyers and share them with their classmates through their blogs or emails.  It serves it's purpose and is good at it.  Easy to share on Pinterest, Twitter, or Facebook, and is easy to use.  Making flyers to invite or inform people of events or even for a school project to share with the class, this site makes your task extremely easy.  Incorporating this site into the classroom would be easy, there are so many possibilities.  The students can make flyers for an event, or use it to inform the class of a topic for a project.  Blending their computer skills, creativity, and knowledge of the topic can create an amazing flyer on this website.  I really like how user-friendly the site was, there was a tutorial and very straightforward icons to guide you through the process.  One downfall is that you need to make an account, but it's free, so, I can deal with that.  Based on the layout and design of the website I would say the intended user is an adult but children could easily use the website to create a flyer.  I will definitely return to this site if I need to make a flyer or would like my students to create them in the future.
