Smilebox is a fun web site where you can upload your digital photos to create slideshows, ecards, photoalbums, and postcards. You can also add music to them. Then you can email your creations or add them to a blog. It can be used for personal use or you can have students create photo albums or slideshows relating to a particular area of study, to show what they have learned or to teach a concept to others.
