Overview

Canva is a free design website where individuals can create images, edit pictures, Infographics, invitations and more. While it is free to use, Canva offers an upgrade that gives you access to more features, fonts, and images. There are tutorials available on the website for those who are unfamiliar with using Canva.


Recently, I used Canva for a Graphic Design elective for grades 5th-8th. The students really enjoyed making invitations for school events and personal reasons. Students had the opportunity to create a Snapchat filter for a Fall Carnival. Another great aspect of Canva is that it is really hands off. It was easy to show my students a YouTube video on how to use it and let them play around with making creations. In my professional use of Canva, I use it to recreate anchor charts for my classroom. I have blown up posters or used the illustrations to cut and paste onto a poster. In my personal use, I have created birthday invitations for my children and Christmas Cards for extended family
