4.23: Canva for Education

The ed Newsstand

More and more people are discovering their love of Canva and the power it can have in the classroom. This week’s newsletter is all about Canva for education. If you don’t know what Canva is, Canva for Education makes it easy to create, collaborate, and communicate visually in the classroom. Also, Canva is 100% free for K12 teachers and their students! As the teacher, you can create and share engaging assignments with your students for them to complete. Share those assignments or resources to whatever learning management system you use or from within Canva. Students complete assignments at their own pace and turn them back in for you to review, leave feedback, or approve. Throughout the newsletter, I want to demonstrate how to set up your Canva classes, demonstrate some of the classroom features within Canva, provide you with links to blogs and playlists to get you inspired, and give step-by-step instructions you can follow to get started.

In TikTok Tech, Jordan Cotten (@cottentechcoach), introduces the G RTF (Google Rich Text Format) extension. The extension can create rich text in places like Twitter and Google Forms when bolding, italicizing, or underlining aren’t available. In Tech Refresh, @macrumos demonstrates Apple’s new Universal Control. Use a single keyboard, mouse, or trackpad of your Mac to control up to two other nearby Mac or iPad devices, and work seamlessly between them, provided all devices are up to date and using the same Apple ID.
