I love this video! Please share more ideas of ways to use Canva in the classroom! I learn something new every time I watch your videos!!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much Denise! I appreciate you watching and commenting with your feedback! 🥰

[@davisjus000]

I know you are a perfectionist, but THANK you for keeping the “resizing mistake” in here. We LOVE to be reminded that you’re a human too. Much love from Scranton, Pennsylvania! ❤

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

LOL! I appreciate you recognizing and acknowledging that because it felt super embarrassing at the time but I'm trying to be better about embracing imperfection. Thank you for your encouragement and support 🥰

[@kammdkgreen]

Yes, more Canva tutorials please! I have been wanting to learn to use Canva to create worksheets. I also want to use it to make anchor charts and then use your printing poster size tutorial to print them to reference in my first grade classroom. I love your videos and content❤

[@julieferrara-jones5485]

I appreciate your videos SO much!! I teach elementary PE and I watch all of your videos with my PE classes in mind. Technology doesn't come "easy" to me, but you keep things so simple that I am able to follow along and learn something new every time. Learning things from your videos also gives me confidence that even though I don't teach in the classroom, I know how to do things that the classroom teachers do on a regular basis. Thank you!

[@DanyGavy]

More Canva content please!❤

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much as always Dwight! Have a great weekend ahead!

[@faithstewart726]

Yes, please share more ideas!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you for watching and commenting with your feedback Faith! 🥰

[@roche320]

You can also select multiple items and centre them relative to each other using the 'position' function. For example, while you were making the clock circles you could have used Canva to align the circle and number for you.

[@pattiesposito3122]

OMG this was so helpful Michelle. I am trying to make a circle to insert a picture of my students without the background if that makes sense. I am putting it on a coffee cup like Starbucks. This might be the place to do it. As always your videos are awesome.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, yay! I'm so happy this was helpful for you! 🥰 Yes! Absolutely! You can use the circle frames to crop the image to a circle but Canva also has a "remove background" feature that will automatically remove the background from your image which might be useful for you!

[@lisasavage8355]

Hi Michelle. Thank you so much for another helpful video. I was wondering if you could create a video regarding QR codes?

[@mariaantonietabarrientos6574]

I will love know how to do my classrooms label like month of the year, numbers, days of the week and so on

[@amandalinares714]

Yes please another tutorial!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much for your feedback Amanda! 🥰

[@ClaudiaSanchez-1991]

I love your videos!! I like Canva so please do share how to make more classroom decor!! I saw people’s flipping calendar! I have one but it was a freebie so I would like to make one with my color palette!! Plus I teach in Spanish so making my own is almost a must!!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much for your kind words Claudia! 🥰 I'll definitely have more videos with tutorials and tips and tricks! 🎉

[@jeanjackson6721]

I enjoyed this video. Please create more on how to use Canva in the classroom.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your feedback!

[@angelthompson3059]

You are soooo helpful! I use Canva a lot but don’t know all the little tips, tricks and hacks that you provide 😊 Question. If I wanted to make a large classroom poster (25x30), how can I print it?

[@cristinabivins2240]

YES, PLEASE!

[@trishbowman5814]

Yes more Canva please. And would you show how to use PowerPoint slides with timers? And how to put a Jeopardy game together. I would also l9ve to see how to make a virtual escape room. So much I need to learn and you are one person that explains things well enough for me to follow. ❤❤

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you for your feedback Trish! As for the timers, it's just a video file that you insert onto the slides! I think they are easier to use within Google Slides because you can insert a video straight from KZbin. But, I have it on my list to create videos on creating interactive games and virtual escape rooms so stay tuned!

[@mizem169]

This is a great video! I will be teaching technology this year for the first time and I don’t have any posters, thanks to your video I can create my own.❤ Can you share your hex codes please?

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it! Here are the color codes I use: Pink - FF2F92 Orange - FF9300 Yellow - FFFB00 Green - 8EFA00 Blue - 0096FF Purple - 9437FF

[@jajairasequeira8637]

You might have a video on this already and if you do, please link it below, but I would love to see you print out different size posters that might be bigger than 8 x 11 and how that would look like. Thanks! Love your videos (:

[@michelleperry9987]

More tutorials would be awesome! Can you do a video about what can be sold on TPT and what can't if you make classroom decor in canva?

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you for watching and commenting with your feedback! As for TPT, I recommend doing your own research in terms of copyright and trademark laws so you can understand what's allowed for commercial use. I'm not a lawyer and can't give legal advice and ultimately the responsibility falls on you as a seller.

[@thaodoan1393]

More canva on how to make great posters. Creating themes classroom door decoration for months would be great. Thanks!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you for watching and commenting with your feedback! I'll definitely add those ideas to my list! 🥰

[@CrystalClearLife]

I have never tried Canva, but I will now. thanks for another great video. Could you show us how to use these elements in a digital way meaning how to incorporate them into PowerPoint or slides presentations. Thanks.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Oh my gosh... you are going to LOVE Canva! 🥰 That's a great question... I can definitely work that into a future video!
