Show Students Your Support With Project Postcard
Let them know you're thinking of them!
Exams can be a stressful experience for many U of A students. Help us brighten their day by giving motivational advice, sharing a funny GIF or inspiring quote — it’s up to you!
Writing Your Digital Postcard
Project Postcard is currently hosted on Padlet, an online notice board that's free and easy to use. Write your note of encouragement to students and feel free to get creative by drawing a picture, uploading a photo, adding a GIF or attaching a video message. The link to the Padlet will be shared widely across campus during exams so lots of students will have the chance to see your note!
How it works:
- Visit the Project Postcard Padlet board (you do not need to login or sign up for an account to share a note).
- Click the pink "+" button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen or double-click anywhere on the Project Postcard Padlet board
- A new blank note will appear on the board. Type in your title and message. If you wish, use the icons below the message to add creative flourishes:
- Upload an image from your photo library
- Add a link to a website
- Add an image, video, GIF or audio file from the internet
- Take a photo of yourself using your computer's camera
- Draw a digital doodle on the onscreen canvas
- Don't forget to sign your name and press enter to finish!
Not sure what to write?
Keep your tone light and friendly and the message general so it will be understood by any student, of any gender, studying in any field.
Try sharing:
- words of encouragement for coping with stress
- tips on preparing for exams
- advice for how to stay motivated
- compassion for those who might be far from home and missing friends and family
