Google Slides has templates you can use to format documents with three columns, like a textbook. You can use these to format your text, add boxes and pictures, and wrap text around them. The video below demonstrates how to access these templates.

Canva is a design tool that helps you create for images Web or print, including blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, and more.

  • It's free online (while certain images and graphics require payment, there are hundreds of free options)
  • You can work collaboratively, sharing and editing your designs with a classmate or teacher.
  • There are dozens of pre-set templates, icons, and images to start you off, or you can create from scratch, and upload your own images to customize.
  • When you're finished you can publish the images online or download them to print or use in other projects.
  • If you want to print as a poster, we recommend you use BlockPoster.com to enable you to print your poster on multiple regular sized pieces of paper that you can tape together to make a full-size poster -- see instructional video below.
