Smore & MS Publisher - ICT Tools
Erasmus+ KA-1 Course
USING ICT - SMORE FLYERS AND MS PUBLISHER IN EDUCATION and AT SCHOOLS.
Course Description
Microsoft Publisher allows small businesses to quickly create publications such as brochures, flyers, and posters for printing or sharing online. You can easily create professional-looking publications by either creating them yourself from scratch or using one of the many pre-designed templates that Publisher offers. These templates can easily be customized for the look you want.
This course will teach you all the skills you'll need to successfully use Microsoft Publisher 2013 like a professional. Each lesson contains step-by-step instructions and detailed explanations along with HD Video tutorials to show you how to use all the features, whistles and bells of Publisher 2013.
Smore Flyers
How many times have you tried to make something – a poster or flyer – and just felt you weren’t creative/neat/artistic enough? How many times have you felt your handwriting was not nice enough or you just couldn’t draw designs the way you wanted them to turn out? Well fear no more Smore Flyers has the perfect solution when it comes to making flyers. These flyers can be done quickly and can hold lots of information. Students of almost any age can use this cool tool to make flyers, posters, or invitations on almost any topic in the classroom. And then once the flyer is finished students can share these online or print them out and hand them out. No more messy or uncreative flyers or posters in your classroom!
There are usually around five to ten options for each, which some might see as not enough. However, I think it keeps it from being too overwhelming. Plus by keeping the options limited to only five fonts it could be helpful to students who spend too much time on detail as now they don’t have to choose from a thousand different things.
Insert Different Types of Media
Another great thing about this cool tool is that you can upload all sorts of content to it. Users can add text, pictures, audio, videos, and more! This is helpful for whatever you are making – your options are practically endless to the things you can add to your flyer or poster. This can make school projects more fun because students aren’t limited to just writing or only showing through pictures. Now students can really get to know certain topics by being asked to find all sorts of media to support their ideas and claims.
Once everything is complete, Smore Flyers gives you the option to share what you’ve made in many different ways. You can share it on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google +, Craigslist, email, direct link or you can just print it out and handout your flyer. You can also view flyers that other people have made with the Featured Flyers page. You can see what other people have done with their flyers to maybe give yourself some ideas or see all of the the options you can choose from.
