More than 75% of the folks that filled out my podcast launch survey in Spring 2022 are Canva users . . . but what about their students? If you’d like to get your students using Canva, they have a free Canva Design Skills for Students course available! It features 7 video lessons totaling about 20 minutes.
Each video lesson has an activity attached to it, so kids watch for 2-5 minutes, then actually make something—which is fantastic. The lessons are:
1️⃣ searching for and editing elements
2️⃣ uploading and editing media
3️⃣ recording yourself
4️⃣ adding and styling text
5️⃣ editing photos
6️⃣ adding animations
7️⃣ using apps
The activities are filled with slides for each element of that lesson. On the left, those slides show a short video of how to complete the task, then on the right is the space to complete the task. It really is a great format. To be honest, I think I might go through this course myself just to upgrade my Canva skills!
If you do it, you’ll learn how to upload photos, videos, and audio, record yourself and your screen, use the photo background remover, use the built-in draw, QR code, and YouTube apps, and more. Or use it as intended and your students will learn to do those things!
Below is a glimpse into the course, with their first short lesson—on searching and editing elements:
This course is free for all and Canva for Education is free for all K-12 educators and students as well. Go directly to the course by clicking HERE.
