Lucidpress is a great alternative to Pages and Word when you want students to create great looking documents.

It's all about digital, and with Lucidpress you can embed links, videos, scrolling text boxes, image galleries, and more. These great interactive digital documents can be accessed on any device with a web browser! It's a great way for students to showcase what they have learned, and a great way to help students achieve the new Common Core standards for Digital Literacy.
