Second session of Appy hour!

For this session of appy hour we focused on using the app Pages.

Pages is a great app for creating documents, posters, invitations etc.

This short five minute video has some great tips and tricks for using pages - http://youtu.be/wDepU2xasMU

We covered
- How to save images from the internet
- How to create an album in the photos app
- Creating a pages document using the templates
- Inserting images in to a frame - resizing, cropping and adding a border
- Editing text, shapes and images
- Saving editing and emailing your pages document!

You all had a go at creating a poster focussing on the 7 Habits and did a great job! Keep up the great work!

We will post the Apps shared by staff in the Speed Session next!

Cheers,
Sam.

Task: using the app Pages

Your task is to design a poster that shows the connection between one of the seven habits and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

- You will work with a partner
- You will have Father Ken's scaffold to support you in this task
- You and your partner will need to source images from the net and save them in your camera roll
- Then begin building your poster
- You have 20 MINUTES to build your poster

Good Luck!
