Helpful!

I've used canva in other instances apart from educational and it's been so helpful. Especially since it's a free tool. I really loved that it allows you to be creative in whatever way you want so it's like a blank board for learners to be creative.

Good for learning how to Design and Create

Overall, I think that Canva is a really good resource as it teaches students a really important skill which is creativity. Although, one critique I would give it is that it can be overwhelming at first for new users. There are a lot of tools to use, and it is hard to understand all of them.

Wide Selection

Canva is a great resource for educators to utilize throughout different areas in an educational setting. This website provides templates for posters, handouts, whiteboards, social media and more that can be used to gain the interest of not only students, but also parents and faculty. What I liked the most about this website was the wide range of variety that it offers teachers. As a student you can always tell how much effort your teachers put into class presentations. I always paid attention to the teachers who had the interactive slides and colorful presentations. The only thing that I didn't like was that you have to pay for some features. I understand that the website needs a way to generate income so this is understandable. In a perfect world all resources for teachers would be free. Besides that, this is a great website that I am sure I will utilize in the future.

Creative Freedom

Canva is an amazing resource for the classroom, allowing people to collaborate and share feedback with each other. Canva can be used for many courses, as there are free templates available to the general public. There are a lot of free options, but there are also features that one must pay for. For example, some stickers must be used only with Canva Pro. It is relatively semi-difficult to find visually appealing pictures or graphics without Pro, but the free version is more than satisfactory. Canva is definitely a tool I will be using in my future career for not just me, but educators and students as well.

Empowering multimedia creation in the classroom!

Canva is an excellent teaching tool for fostering creativity, visual literacy, and multimedia fluency in the digital age classroom. Its versatility across devices makes it a fantastic option for both instructor and student use. What I appreciate most is Canva's intentional design for inclusive learning. The platform is screenreader-supported, provides alternative text descriptions, and meets WCAG accessibility standards. This commitment to universal design creates equitable opportunities for multimedia creation and consumption. Additionally, Canva's collaboration features allow for seamless teamwork and feedback exchange, making it well-suited for project-based learning. While the tutorials and forums provide solid support, live training webinars or an in-product chat could enhance real-time troubleshooting and professional development opportunities, especially for educators implementing Canva across multiple ability levels and backgrounds in their classrooms.

Users on Canva are able to choose through a large variety of premade designs, and tailor it with their own touches (such as their own pictures, phrases, designs, colors, etc.)
