Picnik:
Picnik is an online photo editing program. Using a picture from your computer, Facebook, or other source, you can edit and add a variety of "extras". You can change the effects of the pictures in a variety of ways, including black and white, sepia, 1960s style, portrait, and pencil sketched to name a few. You also have the option to add text, stickers, or other "extras". This is a fun way to spruce up ordinary photos into something interesting and eye catching. It would be great for sharing photos of an event - you could add captions right onto the photo. It would also be nice if you were doing a digital scavenger hunt because you could circle the answers on the photograph so that students could easily check their work, or find answers themselves.
Smilebox:
Smilebox is a program that creates digital invitations, greeting cards, scrapbooks, etc. It is a great tool for teachers to attach something in an email to parents or a blog for the community. I like this tool especially because there was a very wide range of available settings. There were options for holidays, birthdays, or just because. This would be a great thing to add to a class website to keep things interesting, or to clearly post information about an event or activity.
