Issuu - Online Publishing

Issuu is a Web 2 tools that allows you to publish PDFs. You can produce the documents in any program that you like - I prefer PAGES on the Mac. Once you have created a stunning document to impress the world, simply log on to Issuu and upload your PDF. The whole process takes about 2 minutes and you now have a digital magazine style document. This can be embedded into a blog or onto your website. The example of digital textbooks on this blog have all been embedded as stand alone documents. Give some thought to the tags that you attach to your new magazine so that plenty of people can find it in the online library. If you do not want everyone to see it tick this in the box when you are setting it up and only give the address to the people who you want to see your foray into the publishing world. This would be great for storybooks, illustrated stories or making picture books.

Van Gogh Digital Textbook

This was a case study for a Yr 10 Visual Arts class studying Postmodernism. We reviewed the accepted position of Vincent van Gogh in history and then evaluated the accepted history from a fresh perspective. These activities where designed in co-operation with the students. It was the second of these collaborative case studies that this class had designed.
