I have learned so much as a digital learning coach. I have come across some great tools. I have learned about some amazing apps, and I have become a believer in Google Apps for Education.
However, one of my absolute favorite tools that I have learned this year is Canva.
If you haven't tried Canva--you have to! I seriously would die without Canva. (Maybe a little dramatic...but it is awesome!)
I use it for everything (even my resume).
You can share your creations with your colleagues, so they can edit them. You can download them and insert them into a blog, you can make advertisements and easily tweet them out, you can import custom images, pictures or even screenshots.
You have the option to purchase some of the icons if you would like, but I can usually find what I need for FREE.
Your students could use it to create different products, like posters, business cards and graphic responses. If you would like some more ideas, here is a link to a blog post that I found: Five Great Uses for Canva in the Classroom.
Here are some examples of things I made in Canva:
 |
| I used this as a cover for an iBook. |
 |
| I made this to advertise a new award our department came up with to recognize "Genius Educators" who use and integrate technology. |
 |
| This is an example of a digital badge that I made in Canva. |
What do you think? How could you use Canva in your classroom/school? Have you tried it yet? Let me know in the comments.
