Creating Amazing Graphic Designs with iPad

So... during the Jewish Festival of Sukkot and Simchas Torah, my wife Batsheva calculated that we had over 80 people attend festival dinners at our home (most in the Sukkah - a temporary "hut" with a partially open bamboo roof - a lot of fun!!).

Now, why do I mention this to open a quick blog on Academic Tech???  Well, having all of these people led me to create a webpage where people can now "book" a place at our weekly Shabbat dinner table (We usually have 10 to 12 people) making organization so much easier for us.  The only thing I was missing were some cool graphics!  

Just when I was wondering what I was going to do to solve this problem, I received an email from Rabbi Zach Swigard - you may recall that he is one of the Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy's "Rock Star" educators - talking about a new iPad app, CANVA.

CANVA is an amazing app that lets anyone create some of the most amazing graphics - just the sort of thing that I was looking for to create some cool graphics to add to my Shabbat Dinner website. (or a great way for your students to create custom graphics!!!)

Here is a short video on CANVA.  Check it out

As always, your input is much desired.  Please post it on the blog page.
