Community reviews for Canva for Education

Canva is a great resource for teaching as it has greater functionality than google slides and allows for a higher degree of flexibility and accessibility. For example, the video functionality in Canva has access to an automatic captioning tool that can be edited and translated.

Overall a good tool to help teachers or students find creative ways to complete otherwise mundane tasks/lessons. Offers a wide range of abilities and would be hard to find a way in which in can't be useful.

Canva for Education is a powerful and versatile tool that empowers educators to create stunning visuals and engaging learning materials. It offers a user-friendly interface and a vast library of templates, making it easy to design everything. The real difference between the normal canva and the educational one is what its gonna mostly be used for. As the name suggests educational canva will probably be geared to more students and teachers, offering educational aspects. For me, Canva's tools for creating accessible content is a great way to ensure that all students can participate in their creativity.

I believe Canva is the best option out there for digital graphic design. For students, this could be a great way for them to create presentations, projects, and more. The templates, editing tools, and premade shapes/graphics are all great. Also the sharing system could be used for collaborative projects. For teachers, this could be a great way to design course material, such as worksheets, info sheets, presentations, and more. Their video editor works well too.

It is impressive how simple and robust this software is. It's easy to use and includes numerous graphics and stock images.

Canva for Education continues to enhance my teaching practice, making it easier to present complex concepts in a more digestible and interactive way. I highly recommend it for educators looking to bring more innovation and creativity into their instructional materials.

Overall Canva is a great app for design. It is easy to use once you learn to use the tools. It is good for secondary students as well as techers.

I love using Canva in my classroom and enlightening other teachers to its capabilities. Students find the interface very easy to learn and enjoy formatting their designs in a visually pleasing manner. This is a great tool to incorporate basic graphic design into your classroom. The only issue I have with this tool is the paywall behind some graphics. However, the site lets you upload your own pictures and graphics, so it's not a big deal and you are never truly barred from creativity. I like this tool also because it reflects my pedagogical values. For example, if we think about the SAMR framework, this tool falls under the reconstruction category, since this tool can significantly redesign an assignment and allow for students to create something completely new. Students can create an infinite number of different things, including posters, presentations, graphics, flyers, and more. The animation features elevate this platform since these features are not possible without technology. In addition to the SAMR framework, this tool reinforces the idea of TPACK in that it enforces the content knowledge, helps students learn technology knowledge and graphic design, and helps students apply their learning to a visual format. Overall, this is a wonderful tool that both the students and I love!

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.

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.
