5 Ways to Amplify Your Lessons and Your Classroom Using Canva
Each of our students has their own unique learning style, but as educators we know that learning is visual. One way we can amplify our class lessons and curriculum is by using Canva. In our business life, we have used Canva for years to create awesome instagram posts and beautify our blog. However, it was not until recently that we realized that Canva was also an amazing resource for teachers as well. The best part…it is totally FREE for educators!
So, if you want to level up and amplify your teaching game, check out this list of amazing features of Canva.
1. Canva has a vast template library
Thinking of writing a weekly newsletter to send out to parents? Canva has a template for that. How about a brochure to hand out for Back to School Night? You guessed it, Canva has got you covered. Want to send some thank you cards to your room parent? A student? An administrator? Create it on Canva. Canva has templates for things you didn’t even know you needed in your life.
2. Build a Brand for Your classroom:
Are you into rainbows? Maybe you lean more towards succulents and nature? Canva can help you create a unique brand that highlights you as an educator.
Posters - student of the week, class rules, classroom reminders, etc

3. Level up your class curriculum:
Turn that boring worksheet into a highly engaging and unique assignment that your students will want to complete. Also, instead of creating something from scratch, take a look at what they already have in their vast library.
4. Have Students share their learning in unique ways:
Students can use Canva to design and create their own learning portfolios or to showcase their learning in a unique way that is truly personalized.
Posters
Presentations
5. Become inspired by the greatness:
We think one of the most awesome benefits of using Canva in our classrooms is that just by logging on to the website we are inspired by all of the different ways we can create unique learning experiences for our students. Canva allows us to think outside the box when it comes to creating content for our students. Trust us when we say, students know when you have gone the extra mile for them. They notice the effort you put into your curriculum. While they may not express their gratitude through words, often times, the effort you put into the curriculum for your students comes back in higher student engagement and deeper learning.
