Textbooks to Chromebooks 8- LucidPress

LucidPress is an online app that allows users to create documents with multiple pages.  It is an app that is free for teachers and students.   Students can easily log in using the sign in with the Google option.  Once they log in, students can either work independently or they can collaborate with a team.  Students can invite other students to collaborate by using the invite button.  There are templates for students to choose from which allow them to easily drag and drop textbooks, add images, YouTube videos.  I used this app to have students create "Grammar Books," but the options are much more powerful and limitless. For instance,  I can definitely see making state reports a more interactive product.  Another possibility is a classroom newsletter that summarizes student learning or where students report on various topics in a newsletter or magazine format.  Here is an image of documents created using LucidPress.
