I am not going to lie, making flyers was definitely not my favorite tool. It took me the longest time to figure out the program, and to make it look nice with a picture and writing. I like the idea of flyers, but I also feel like now sense we do have the internet so easily at our hands, that I would rather do a google doc to send out this information, rather than printing up a flyer and sending it home in students back packs hoping that they get it to their parents. If I was teaching the older students like the 5th or 6th grades, then I think it would be fun to have them make their own flyers, (make a criteria of information they needed to included, but let them pick the pictures, and use the fonts they like) I also feel like that way they may be more excited to give it to their parents because it is their own work, and so it would have a higher chance of getting to the parents.
