I came across Canva a while back. Recently they have added some great tutorials to their site complete with teaching materials. I am pretty sure I will be asking my students to try
the tutorials out quite soon. After downloading one of their workshop tutorials in pdf form I wanted to add it to a widget and place it in the internal iBook I am working on for my multimedia class.
One way to do this is to:
- Open the pdf in preview then drag the individual page thumbnails one by one into a folder.
- Once you have all of the images you can drag and drop the images into the thumbnail side of keynote to create the keynote presentation.
- From iBook author you can make a widget from a keynote presentation and add the presentation to your iBook.
After doing this once I looked for a better workflow. Using Automator you can create a workflow that automatically converts the pdf to images and adds the images to a designated folder. Makes step one a lot quicker.
