How can Canva help my teaching? 3 great ideas with the free opion.

Hi Russell and thanks for another inspiring video. By accessing Canva I discovered that, as a state school teacher (from Italy) able to provide proof that I am one (I gave my name, the name and address of the school, the school's website and a document from the electronic register which states that I am a teacher at that school), I got access to pro features for free. They verified me in literally five minutes. Knowing this might come in handy for other school teachers.

Thanks for sharing that, and I’m glad you found the video inspiring! It's great to know that state school teachers can access Canva’s pro features for free with quick verification-definitely valuable information for other educators!

Great to see another collaboration tool that doesn't require login by the student, Padlet and Google being two of the others. Google has versioning, not sure if Canva does yet.

Thanks for the comment! Canva currently supports version history in its paid plans, making it easier to track changes during collaborations.

I have played around / dabbled with Canva before and even tried a (free) PowerPoint presentation using AI for text support and it was quite good. The presentation was totally editable and is now ready to use, if I want. The collaboration with the boxes was nice, but you could also do this with Padlet. But perhaps Canva is easier for students. Do you know if the info-graphics (tenses) you accessed for the demo are made by 'real' people, e.g. teachers - or are they made by AI? I am intrigued. Anyway, I've now learned a bit more about Canva which, up to now, has been totally incomprehensible to me!!

I'm glad you found the video helpful! The infographics in Canva are typically created by real designers and educators, though some AI-generated content may also be available; it's great to hear you're getting more comfortable with Canva!
