Adobe Slate is an easy to use and intuitive iPad app that makes telling a visual and textual story simple.  With limitedAdobe-Slate-Logo-700x700 menu choices and a clear workflow/path, students will quickly master the story and be up going right away. Students open up the app and have a blank slate with four choices for adding content: Photos, text, links and a photo grid.  They can use the iPad’s camera, take from their personal camera roll, or easily search the web for photos all from inside the app. The story can be transformed into a website for easy sharing.  It is possible to keep the site private and to share it over your favorite social media platform. Again, this app is SUPER simple to use with limited choices and a very clean design. An Adobe account  is required to get up and rolling.
