Design the Best School Year Yet with Canva!<\/h1>\n

Before we jump into the specifics, sign up for your free Canva Educator account. <\/span><\/p>\n

Start on Canva.com\/Education<\/a> then click under the teacher section to have your educator email verified. <\/span><\/p>\n

Using Canva will give you several options to engage your students. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ready-made templates can be super helpful and time-saving! Be sure to check in with episode 132<\/a> and then more in episode 133<\/a> on the Shake Up Learning podcast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Canva is no longer just about designing. They have taken designing to the next level by adding engagement. It\u2019s possible to take your designs and interact with students inside Canva. The introductory video on the educator page shows a teacher and her students interacting with a drag and drop activity. Students can log into the Canva platform to engage with an activity, share comments, and leave stickers.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the free educator\u2019s account, teachers have access to hundreds of copyright-free enhancements for their lessons. Consider how an educational video clip, gif, audio clip, or image could help provide students with background knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of the lesson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best part is the ability to provide instant feedback to students. A commenting feature allows teachers to share in real-time with students. Typing specific, personalized comments is incredibly helpful, but the sticker feature makes it possible to provide feedback quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While it is possible to work within the Canva platform, sometimes it keeps things streamlined to run activities through an LMS. Canva connects with Google Classroom and a number of other popular LMS platforms. No need to download and upload, simply send activities and designs directly to the place you need them.\u00a0<\/span>
