Tech Tidbit video: LucidPress (Digital Multimedia Publishing)

LucidPress allows users to create and publish digital multimedia publications for online display, sharing, and access.  By signing up for a free account, you can store up to 25 mb worth of projects, and create digital publications for print, or for online sharing and access.  The tool menu is similar to that of PowerPoint or Microsoft Publisher, in that you can insert text boxes and format text, as well as insert and resize images.  You can also insert online videos by entering the URL to online videos found on YouTube, Vimeo, and other video sharing sites.  You can publish these documents and share them via e-mail, social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google +. You can also download the publication as digital image files such as jpeg files.

  

If you wish to embed your publication on a website, you can instantly sign up for a free trial subscription that allows you access to the paid pro feature menu.  By using LucidPress, you can have students create digital artifacts and bypass posterboard and markers, which can become damaged when displayed.
