Lucidpress logoLucidpress is an app that can be used to create presentations, brochures (including trifold), newsletter/papers, magazines, flyers, posters, etc.  

  • You can choose between digital documents and those that you can print.
  • It's full of really helpful templates to build off of.
  • You can share your document with others to edit, just like Google Docs.
  • Best of all, Lucidpress is a free Google App that you can access using your NPS Google Drive account!  
    • Log into Google Drive, click create, click on "Connect more apps," then search for Lucidpress. This will save you the need to create an account with an email and password. Once you connect to Lucidpress through Google Drive, the app will open as a new tab in your browser.  
    •  Click on the Lucidpress logo at the top left of the screen to see all of your Lucidpress documents.

Create your own Comic. Includes fully -posable characters, dynamic panels, props, and speech bubbles. Free online (easiest to login with Google using your school account) -- click on icon above or link below to go to the site: https://www.pixton.com/ca/

You automatically have a school YouTube account through Google Drive. To access it, log into NPS Google Drive, then click on the apps waffle in the top right of the screen (3x3 grid of boxes), and scroll down to find YouTube.

Add Spanish Captions: You can use YouTube's video editing tools to add captions to your video. If you want to simply add automatic closed captions (no typing, just rely on YouTube's transcription program to create the captions for you), then click CC at the bottom of the screen. 

To customize captions or change the language you will have to select Edit Video. Since YouTube's new "Studio Beta" doesn't allow caption editing, first you have to switch to "Creator Studio Classic"

Once in Creator Studio Classic, Select Subtitles/CC at the top of the screen, then follow instructions in the video below to add custom subtitles.
