Smore: The Flyer Site

I'm sure that I've mentioned this before, but I am a highly visual learner. I love seeing things graphically represented and I honestly believe that different colors and shapes can help make information interesting and memorable. And one tool that can help organize information this way is Smore.

Smore is a site that allows you to make visually appealing and informative flyers. I can definitely see myself using Smore to introduce a unit. I could both project it on the board and hand out the flyers to all the students (although with some of the backgrounds and color schemes, a black and white printed version might not be very readable). I also really like Smore as a tool through which students can demonstrate their learning. I think it is both easy to use and complex enough that it will definitely be an engaging tool for high school students.

Here's a quick sample Smore I made below!
