On the 2nd Day of #TechmasChallenges, TechformersU wrote to me..."Create a Smore of your favorite Christmas place or city".
My Day 2 project focuses on my little slice of heaven right here in Louisiana. I used
Smore to highlight a favorite Cajun Christmas story, our holiday bonfire tradition, Louisiana's Christmas Fairs and Festivals, and some special recipes.
Smore, a free webtool, allows users to create online flyers with pictures, videos, links, and events. The creations can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and more. For the classroom, it would make a perfect platform for presenting research information. I like the way
the flyer looked on the Smore page more so than the way it looked when I embedded it in the blog - some of the formatting changed on the embed and I had trouble getting Blogger to load it, so I opted for an image. If you try this as a class project, the variations may drive some of your kids nuts, so you may want to give them a bit of a warning in advance:)
Until tomorrow...Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
