About Create + Collaborate with Canva

On the surface, Canva is a graphic design tool that helps even the least skilled designer make beautiful graphics, presentations, posters, and videos. When you add in Canva for Education your students can use the platform to demonstrate learning through creativity, collaborate on group projects and receive timely teacher feedback.  In this course we’ll look at how you can use Canva to create engaging educational resources and set up Canva classrooms to share Canva with students.  

Canva for Education is free for all current K-12 educators.  Inactive educators will need a paid Canva account.
