Community reviews for Smore

Smore is an easy to use digital poster/flyer creator that has a lot of options to create and personalize content. It is great to present material and to have students create, share and publish their work. Terms of Service require users to be at least 13 years old (unless you are using the Educational Pro account). The default settings make flyers public and contact information public. It took some time to edit flyer settings to private and to not display contact information. I wish this process was more intuitive.

I love the easy to use interface and quick options for layouts. Having a simple interface allows students to focus on adding content that is relevant instead of focusing on all the "cool options." I used to use a much more complicated "ePoster" website with my students, but there was a huge learning curve and many times my students would be so frustrated with the technology, they would give up on creating content. With Smore, the learning curve for students is very low, and they can be adding content in no time. Great for end of unit summary activities, or for information sharing.

Students can get as involved as they would like. This is great for all learners because the flyer can be very simple or it can be complex.
