This website is used to create collages out of photos. It can be used to create instructional collages and collages of student photos from class activities or even photos of student artwork. This can be very useful in a classroom that doesn't have a lot of room, because a lot of pictures can be displayed in a small amount of space. This really works great for displaying artwork, because finding a space to display twenty or even thirty pieces of art is hard, and if all students aren't included then someone may feel left out, or that their artwork wasn't good enough to be displayed. There are no paid subscription options for this website, but there are multiple items that can be purchased with your collage on them. There are things like posters and mouse pads that can be used in the classroom, and things like coffee mugs that can be given as teachers gifts or even to a classroom volunteer. This is not a child-directed tool and should be used by the teacher to create things to be used by the children in class. This tool can be used with any age group, but would probably be more useful in preschool and elementary classrooms where artwork is used more abundantly in the classroom. Teachers at higher levels do not use as much artwork on the walls.
This is an excellent way to start portfolios for children who are just entering school! Like you said, it does not take up much physical space and children won't be disappointed that their artwork is not displayed because there were no more room. While older children do not have as much of their art up on walls, there are probably a handful of them who would love for a way to keep up with their art without being teased about it.
