Well, I don't live near a beach...but those trees sure are swaying! Queue the segue... 
For almost two years, I've been sending out newsletters to our faculty via e-mail. I've utilized both Outlook (creating tables to hold content completely from scratch) and then Publisher. I even posted this blog, Creating an E-mail Newsletter, attempting to get ideas from the Community on better ways to communicate information.
I recently got some help from awilliams and also reviewed a presentation by snufer about
. So, I logged into my O365 account I have through our Technical College, and I started creating my first Sway. In searching through the templates, I found one for Newsletters, and it was just what I was looking for. I could add articles, photos, quotes, etc. I also liked the fact that it had some built-in interactivity (like cycling through a group of photos). Once I got comfortable with the interface, it was relatively easy to add content wherever I needed it. And best of all, I could grab the embed code to paste into a Canvas page. We'll now be directing our instructors (via Global Announcements) to our "Newsletter Archive" (part of a public Canvas course we have set up for them to access) to view the newsletter.Here's a sampling of my first Sway:
