Lucidpress... A MS Publisher Alternative

Throughout the process of converting from using MS Office to Google Apps, we have noticed there was an issue with the fact that there was not a tool that could be used to replace MS Publisher. 

Well... now there is! It is called LucidPress. It is a web-based tool that can be used to create all sorts of projects Publisher used to help us with. It also allows us to create some that the version of Publisher we had did not allow us to create.

LucidPress is made by the same people that created LucidChart (A graphic organizing tool), and they both can be used on the Chromebooks with our Google accounts. Once the App has been installed, you can create a new LucidPress file just as easily as you create a Google Doc. 

The files are then saved to your Google Drive account and can be edited and shared through Drive as well.

Here is the link to the LucidPress website. There is a quick intro video you can watch to see more.

I also made a quick video tutorial to guide you through adding the App to your Drive account and exploring the basics of LucidPress.



Enjoy!
