Canva,
Is it Good for the Classroom?
I am the type of person that enjoys trying something new. When I tried the free app Canva, I was eager to design a poster about Walt Disney. Walt Disney was known for his imagination, and I wanted to create something from my imagination. I quickly learned that was going be harder to do than thought. The tutorial video provided by Canva, I watched was very helpful with learning how to do work with Canva. Canva is a tough website/app to use to design. They have pre-built designs, but they are difficult to change to customize to your own. Canva has items that are $1.00, but items that cost money can quickly build to a high total. With the free items available I would say I made something I would be willing to put up in my classroom one day.
Being a future elementary education teacher, I would use this website/app personally and for the classroom but I would not have my students work with the app/website. I think my students would get frustrated with how hard it is to change items to be personalized. I would highly recommend Canva to be used for high school students to create posters, banners, etc. for school assignments. They can create items movements that have/are happening in our society. As a teacher, I would use Canva to build a website for my students to view for a lesson plan or communication.
