2019 BCSS Ed Tech Innovation Challenges

Smore is a digital poster/newsletter/flyer tool that can be used by students to showcase their learning. Think about it as one long webpage.

You can easily create text boxes, insert image and even video (from YouTube). The Smore creations can also include links and some embedded content from other sources.

Account: An account is required for use. There is no Gmail login ability. Free accounts are limited to 4 Smores and the templates/backgrounds are more limited than with a paid or classroom account.

Thanks to Laura Rogers and Toni Neff for suggesting this badge.

Smore, by students, can be used as an alternative to traditional reports and power point-esque presentations.
