I made some great newsletters last year using both slides and drawings. Both have lots of potential.  My feeling was... let’s maximize the possibilities in the Google environment and I was quite impressed those tools.  I also think Drawing is the most underutilized tool in the Suite.

I have to put a good word in for Google Drawing too. You can customize the page to 8.5 x 11 and have a lot more tools and freedom to create. More like Publisher. But you can only have one drawing at a time.

Slides is definitely the easier options.  Students can work collaboratively and the teacher will access to each student's slides in Google Classroom.

Here is an example that my fourth graders do each year in groups of two or three.

Not sure what you mean about "getting the boxes to go away" but in LucidPress you can always start with a blank template and build your own simple brochure template. Once you get started with LucidPress and get some practice it is a pretty effective program for building newsletters and other kinds of print and web publications.

Hi everyone,
A teacher here is planning a project where she'd like her students to create a brochure using Google Drive/Docs.
I'm not aware of a template in there that would let you create a brochure such as with MS Publisher.
I took a quick look in Google Docs, but didn't see that sort of template. 
They could do something with creating tables in a Google Doc, but I was wondering if there were another easier way to do this.
Thanks,
Chris Barlow

Subject: [CASL-L] Financial Literacy Speaker for Freshman class?

Hi, everyone,

 

Do any of your schools have a section on Financial Literacy (student debt, personal budgets, etc.) and, if so, can you recommend a speaker who could do an hour or so workshop on this topic for my First Year Experience class at Tunxis CC?

 

I would really like to integrate this topic with students fresh out of high school who may not have had preparation on tracking their student debt, expenses, taxes, etc.

 

Thanks so much,

 

Lisa
