My family & I have been using Smilebox as a way to share photos with family & friends for about 2yrs now.
I saw today they have a teachers program & filled out the information. When it asked for school name & School District I just wrote homeschool. For the school website I included a website I have about our homeschool which hasn't been updated in at leas 3yrs. lol I wasn't sure if they would accept it or not.
I got an email just moments later telling me I was accepted. They gave me a full year of Smilebox which costs $39.99.
Here is info on the program and how you can use it for school -

My kids have enjoyed it using too. My 14yr old likes to take photos and she shares them with her friends.
The creations can be printed out too and look great on plain or photo paper. I plan to use it for our notebooking this year.
Hope some of you find this helpful & enjoy.
