Picnik and Smilebox

I actually had a lot of experience using picnik before this class. I think that it is super easy to use and allows you to do some fun things with your photos. I love that it is free, though. (For the most part.) I don't even think that the part you have to purchase is necessary. I have always been more than happy using only the free parts of the site. This could be a good tool to teach your students in a technology classroom to use.

Smilebox was also cool. I do not see myself using it very much though. I like that you can create fun entertaining invitations and slideshows, but, because I do not use the internet for communication very often (unless it is for school), I do not see this program providing much use to me. It might be a great way to create an online scrapbook for your classroom that parents can view, though. It also might be a fun way to incorporate a small amount of writing (in the picture labels and on the scapbook pages) into your lesson plans.
