Canva: The final step before becoming a good teacher—becoming a good designer!

Have you ever scratched your head over a handout, fumbled around in Word and PowerPoint, spent a lot of time looking for images, only to end up with unsatisfactory results😣?

Do you want your students to shout "Wow😍" when they get the handout and then look through it with interest?

Some may argue that it's more important to prepare for the content😕.

But have you ever been frustrated by the fact that you've prepared your handouts but they don't go down well with your students due to a lack of layout and decoration😩?

After all, no matter your target group is young learners or mature adults, who wouldn't love a good-looking handout or PPT😁?

Then! When you try out Canva, you'll find that you're one step away from being a good teacher with a great design! 💪

Strength

Numerous attractive templates

Templates for everything from PowerPoints to posters to documents to logos to CVs are available in a wide range of sizes and styles.

As a teacher, you can choose any template you need when preparing a lesson and modify the content. You can also create a design on your own. 

Sufficient support with enough freedom

Despite being supported by numerous templates, it's still a haven for your design freedom!

Countless thematic images are provided. Just enter a keyword in the search bar, and you can easily find suitable pictures and illustrations.

You can easily adjust the image position, size, clarity, and other attributes.

There is also a wide choice of fonts, including artistic fonts.

User-friendly operation

Effects that require complex manipulation in Word, PowerPoint, and especially Photoshop can be easily achieved with Canva.

Multi-site operation

Canva has a web and an app for the mobile phone or iPad that synchronises content and allows you to create and use it at any time.

 

Is that all?😜

No! There's a bigger surprise!

 

Simultaneous editing function for multiple users🙆

Click the little plus sign at the top right of the page after logging into your account to share the action page and have multiple people edit at the same time!

It's easy to do, whether in an online classroom, an interactive session with the teacher, a group editing a poster during class, or a presentation of an assignment after class.

For example, the image below shows a brainstorming platform where students can freely edit and express their opinions.

Restrictions

🍏 Many images and templates are available for a fee, but the free parts are actually sufficient for most needs.

🍏 Students may spend some extra time on the design. But it is worth it! The beautiful output will inspire their learning. The sense of achievement created by the display will also help them to work hard on their learning tasks from the heart.
