Web. 2.0: Canva

Hello again everyone! This blog post is going to be all about the website Canva. Canva is a site that allows you to create graphics like posters, invites, business cards, photo collages -- basically anything and everything! And the best part is that is mostly free to use! Click here to watch a 5 minute tutorial I made to teach you about Canva.

My favorite feature of Canva is the sheer amount of options you have. There are templates that can be used for school projects or for ideas outside of education. It seems like Canva has covered all of it's bases - social media posts, letterheads, magazine covers, certificates, resumes, album covers, and even YouTube video thumbnails. There are numerous fonts and images and backgrounds and templates to chose from. You can create almost anything for free, and even the things that cost money only cost $1. Here is a screenshot showing just some of the many project you can use Canva for:



While it seems like Canva can only be used for social media purposes, it can actually be quite useful in the classroom. Teachers can create letters for parents and presentations to use for their lessons. Students can create dynamic projects. Clubs and teams can create posters to promote events. With so many free options, the imagination has virtually no limitation with Canva. I hope the tutorial was helpful and I hope to see some beautiful projects coming from students using Canva!
