Smore


In this sample I have created a Smore news bulletin about a current event. Within this assignment I asked the students to “create a news bulletin by making an online flyer via Smore.com. First you must research a current event and then use that research and include it in your news bulletin. You will then present your bulletin and inform your classmates about this event. Please include the following: An introduction/background of this event, where this event is most prevalent, 3 important facts that include detail, and any other aspects of this event that you find important.” I made a bulletin about the Ebola virus outbreak and included facts about symptoms, U.S contact, new medicines, origins, etc.
This tool was very easy to use. After you choose your flyer theme, it allows you to add titles, pictures, text, and more simply by typing a dragging. I can definitely see this tool helping with student instruction. It is a great way for students to organize ideas and create a clear presentation. The teacher can also use this if they wish to create a flyer or organize their instruction or lessons. I could see myself using Smore in my classroom because it is a new and easy way to display ideas through technology. These flyers and bulletins are clean, organized, and will provoke higher-level thinking for the students.
