Use desktop publishing with your students instead of writing research papers. It is also a good way to communicate with families. Newsletters and 3-fold brochures are good examples of desktop publishing. Use Word or PowerPoint. If you use PowerPoint your graphics and text boxes will stay put. If you use Word, you can make linked text boxes.
 * Desktop Publishing**


 * PDF -- When you put your desktop publishing on your wiki, put it in two file formats: (1) .ppt or .doc or what ever program you used to create the document (2) .pdf. Always include the pdf version so that families who do not have your programs can still read the document. To make a file into a pdf (Mac) print - pdf, (Windows) install a pdf creator (free pdf creator at @http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ ) **
