Public Service Announcement Posters

We just finished our unit on Public Service Announcements!

The grade 2s had a wonderful time making their posters with Pic Collage, a FREE iPad app.

It was the first time the Grade 2s used cloud storage.  For this one, we used copy.com.

Some of us had challenges because our PCs would sometimes hang on us.  Despite this, we still were able to make marvelous comic strips.  Here are a few:
