hi-impact says: Creating exciting and functional documents is easy with Lucidpress. Using the pre-made templates you can quickly make very professional looking documents. These can be as 

simple as a fact sheet or as complicated as a full prospectus. There is an inbuilt image search which is filterable by license, a must for digital copyright and e-safety, and you can add live links to websites and social media which are preserved when exported as a pdf. You can also order prints meaning you can make your own posters and leaflets for promoting events and reaching parents across your school community.

Documents can be worked on collaboratively in real time as well as traditional sharing methods such as Google Drive and Dropbox. Simple enough that pupils can create great looking documents for all curriculum subjects, powerful enough for staff to use to create brochures and resources. Lucidpress is a great tool for staff and pupils alike.
