Canva is a tool for graphic design that is simple to use. Users can design just about anything like social media posts, slide show presentations, documents, business proposals and other digital content. With thousands of free templates to choose from and use, this program can be implemented in classrooms, helping visual learners succeed. It can be used by educators to help them design things like classroom newsletters, lessons and planning documents, and by students to help them articulate their work in a visually engaging way.
The video attached demonstrates how Canva has been implemented in a high school business class. The unique and visually appealing templates provided by Canva helped the students complete their business plan assignment. In doing so, they were inspired to develop their own brands, and think with more of an entrepreneurial mindset to produce amazing work. One student mentioned "It gives me a voice in my creativity and in what I want to produce." Canva has endless features when it comes to designing content. Using this tool can inspire and spark curiosity, but it also gives students the flexibility to make changes to the templates given, developing creativity through making digital content their own.
Using Canva can make group projects more appealing to a wider variety of students. Introverted students are often less eager to collaborate with others on assignments. Canva allows collaboration to happen virtually, so students who are more hesitant to contribute in group settings feel more comfortable in developing skills needed to work in groups. The templates provided are great for projects and presentations and allow groups to create unique, professional looking assignments.
