If I had a penny for every time someone said this to me I would be a rich woman! I’ve always said Canvas should hire me to launch a free training program on how to actually use their product from an educators perspective with step by step tutorials. It’s like getting a product without a manual on how to set it up right? Seems silly to me. Anywho glad the video was helpful. I have an entire canvas tutorials playlist on my channel. Though I no longer create content about online teaching I’ve left those videos up bc everyone keeps telling me how helpful there are.

It's true that Canvas has limited us, but there are creative ways to figure things out. I've been able to create some pretty fancy layouts for my college music classes.

Pre planning is super helpful. You'll need a course assigned to you first or you might ask your admin if you can be allowed a blank canvas class to practice/prep in and then you can export and import that work into the class once it's assigned to you.

Totally understand your frustration here. I think it might be a personal preference on which platform you like and prefer better. Some people hate it and some people love it. What I've discovered is that the most positive part about everyone migrating to Canvas this year is that the students will understand the platform when they transition from HS to college or from community college to university since everyone is mostly using the same LMS these days. I hope these videos help and I've got an entire playlist series of Canvas tutorials if that helps as well. Hang in there fellow teacher and feel free to rant away anytime. We all need a space for that these days! 😀

Another question...I created a homepage from my sandbox...then when I published it..the entire sandbox published...I only know enough technologically to be dangerous. What did I do wrong?

Hi Sherri. What do you mean by "sandbox" where you created your homepage? Then maybe I can offer some help.

What if your district has blocked KZbin. What are my options?
@VirtualTeachingPro4 жыл бұрын
I've been hearing this from many other people recently as well. I'm trying to come up with a solution but the only thing I can think of is to create your own content and upload directly to Canvas which does take up a ton of space depending on how much your district pays for to house content in the cloud. If you're using documentaries or video clips from series or educational content then try their websites to see if they have it posted so youk can link to the website. Some educational websites are posting video content directly on their page it's just discoering them that takes time and finding the resources. sorry I"m not able to offer more help just yet.

How come your settings page shows a profile, but my wife Jennifer's, does not?
@VirtualTeachingPro4 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure why a profile doesn't show up. I"ve heard that yet from other people but Canvas is being implemented in so many institutions quickly that there are multiple factors that could be the reason. Is she using a new account that was just created for her? Is she on a sandbox or practice account? Has she had her students loading into her courses?

can we embed a video clip from Kanopy?
@VirtualTeachingPro2 жыл бұрын
I haven't tried that yet myself so I'm not sure. Keep in mind though that since it's subscription based they my still have to sign in to view it or it might not embed at all but give it a try! Use the embed code tool in the RCE box and see what happens! Let me know how it goes and keep me posted. Would love to know what happens!

I am trying to find a button maker for free so I can set up my math class. Any suggestions? My district is BLOCKING KZbin
@VirtualTeachingPro4 жыл бұрын
try this one. It's free, easy, quick, simple to make one. Not super fancy but quick! You can either get the code to embed if you know how to work with HTML + CSS or you can quickly download the image and upload it into canvas as a image file and then link it to the page you want to connect it to as a CTA. www.clickminded.com/button-generator/ I've heard of some districts starting to block youtube. That's a little frustrating to me because then it forces the teach to upload content right into Canvas and video files take up a load of space and if the district didn't purchase enough cloud space then you could easily fill up quickly with large files like videos. It's much easier to upload your videos to youtube and then quickly link it in canvas. It just makes it more challenging for faculty at this extreme time to get online fast and without much training.

okay no worries. Just so you know, you can change the playback speed in KZbin by clicking on the settings at the bottom right of the video. It's that little gear icon.

You’re so welcome.! Though my content has shifted on my Channel I still keep all of the Canvas tutorials and online teaching videos up bc so many people say they keep coming back to them or discovering them now. Hope it continues to help fellow educators out there all over the world navigate online teaching and reduce some stress along the way!
