Digital+Scrapbooking+using+Mixbook

Think about this past school year, or all the time you have spent in Secondary so far. Consider the following areas:


 * Friends
 * Work We Have done
 * Moments of Glory
 * Trips and Activities

What sorts of things come to mind?

You will be working on one of the topics above to create a short digital scrapbook. You must be paired up for the activity and each pair must pair again with another. Both pairs will work together on the same scrapbook, but on different pages on two different computers. There is no limit to how many pages you can make, but time is limited.

We will be using Mixbook to create digital scrapbooks.

Take a look at some of the examples from this past school year.

First you will need an account. If you are under 13 you will use one of the school accounts made instead.

Once you have your account you and you partner must create the scrapbook and share it with the other pair in your group of 4.

Invite your partners to **collaborate** on the scrapbook with you. It may take a few moments to **load** up.



Once your **scrapbook** has **loaded** you will be asked to choose a **theme**. If you are unhappy with your choice you can always change the **theme** later on.

Choose the **text** **layouts** you want to use and the **theme pages**.



Choose your theme backgrounds and any stickers you wish to use.
