Check out @lucidpress - an online design and publishing tool you don't want to miss! #GAFE #EdTech #BISDwired

Lucidpress is an online design and publication tool that’s free for students and teachers. Here are just a few classroom materials that can be produced in Lucidpress:

• Assignments 
• Multimedia study aids
• Syllabuses
• Lesson plans
• Magazines and newsletters

Fortunately, the interface is simple (just drag and drop) and there are plenty of templates, so there’s virtually no learning curve.

So far, we’ve seen lots of students creating presentation and posters to show off what they’re learning. Lucidpress is especially suited to team projects, since multiple users can edit a document together in real time or leave comments for others to see.

After a Lucidpress document is finished, it needn’t be displayed once and then forgotten. Since Lucidpress is cloud-based, it supports digital publication and sharing. That means you can embed your document in a website, promote it on social media, or create a unique, permanent link so anyone can refer to it.

A new Lucidpress Edu Premium option will include Google Classroom integration, administrative controls, and digital portfolio creation. If you’re an educator, you can try Lucidpress for free just for signing up!
