For my second emerging technology I chose SmileBox. It provides templates so you can create slideshows, virtual scrapbooks, and simple collages to share with family and friends! It is useful for projects, presentations, or just if you want to be creative and have some fun. My preferred way to get to know new, unknown websites is to just explore them for a couple hours. I've messed around with SmileBox for a couple weeks now, and I think I've pretty much figured everything out! SmileBox is super easy to use; it provides steps to download it, and then once you've downloaded the program, it takes you step by step through making a photo creation of your own! Because it's so easy to use, I don't really have any helpful tips. I would definitely suggest SmileBox to anyone who loves taking and organizing pictures, and I know I'll be using it a lot in the future!
The creation I chose to share is a slideshow I made about my Senior Trip in 2009. Our class went to Upstate New York followed by New York City. I absolutely LOVE nyc, and I was thrilled to be able to take a week long trip with my graduating class in the middle of the year! The pictures are mainly just pictures of my friends in the snow and in the city; in a lot of pictures we all look exhausted, and that's because we totally were! Our week was packed with super fun activities, but when we arrived back in Indianapolis at 3 AM at the end of the week, we all went home and slept all day long! So, enjoy the slideshow, and try SmileBox out! It's a great program!
Taylor, this brought back so many wonderful memories for me! I too went to New York City when I was a senior in high school. I loved your picture from the top of the Empire State Building, I have a similar one! I also have pictures from the top of the World Trade Centers. Great job on your slideshow... I loved it!
ReplyDeleteAwe... Fun! My boyfriend took me to see Wicked for my birthday a couple years back. I loved the show! Such a great addition to the classic story, Wizard of OZ. Job well done on the slideshow. BTW... your blog is becoming very colorful and festive. I like the new background.
ReplyDeleteNYC is my hometown. Love the video! Glad that you love it too.
