From someone who is not into teaching content and found you through your G-Drive transfer video: You are absolutely nailing your thumbnails, edits, camera personality and content! I'm super impressed.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Oh my gosh, you're so sweet for saying that! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and support! 🥰🎉

What a great sequel to last week's video! I am now super pumped to try out more projects in Canva. Templates are so helpful for teachers, especially when you are short on time and need a good starting point. Michelle, thanks for your insights and inspiration for Canva! Also, I hope you have an amazing birthday weekend!!!!! 💜🥳

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much Mandy! I'm so happy you enjoyed it... especially using the templates! I appreciate you watching and commenting as always! 🖤 Also, thank you so much for the birthday wishes! I had a great weekend! 🥰

Thank you for another very helpful video. With your help, I ventured into Canva and Padlet and I am loving it.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Woohoo! I'm so happy you're loving both Canva and Padlet! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🥰🖤

[@bbenedict07]

I just completed a class in technology and curriculum. For my project I used a Padlet for assessment of my students. The students loved it and I received 100% on my project. Once I introduced Padlet to the students, they began using it and discovering new ways to post. Now they're teaching me!

[@leilaklyde7262]

I ❤the confetti 🎉🎉. Thank you for explaining it so thoughrouly. I didn't know about Canva live. Awesome.

[@CrystalClearLife]

Fantastic presentation. Very clear and easy to follow. Do you have a video on creating thumbnails for KZbin videos? I didn’t see on your channel page.

[@user-yy4mx1sy7o]

Is it possible to annotate on the slide as you teach? Like in small groups if I wanted a student to come circle a correct answer on my clear touch which I use to present. Thank you!

[@reynalopez4763]

Good Morning! and thank you for all your awesome tutorials. I am filtering a Presentation for Day of the Dead and nothing comes up. I only get posters and coloring pages. Please help!

[@lottabailey9904]

Thanks

Thanks for watching!

[@Bung_26]

Love this? Thanks so much. How do you show your face and demonstrate on screen. Is it Screencastify?

[@sherriredou7763]

I'm wondering the same...

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Hi Yvette! I've made a video about how I edit my videos before but I have two separate recordings... one of my face and one of my screen. Then, I overlap them and cut back and forth as part of the editing process.

[@Bung_26]

Thank you!

Hi, how can I sell a PowerPoint on TPT that cannot be modified or can also be opened as show. Thanks!!

[@mariasterious9105]

Is there a feature in Canva that is similar to Nearpod? (Where students have the same presentation on their iPad but the teacher controls advancing slides)

[@karenalder8437]

Hi there! Question: I have friends that set up their free account with their school email. But now want to do the canva pro teacher free account. Do you know how they would do that?

[@kinderjenni]

Michelle, your east to understand explanations of everything I have listened to brings up this question: can you explain the use of a paid Pro account using Pro elements, like clipart on Canva? I am so confused by the license that I read and the videos that I’ve seen.. I need clearer instructions-#1 I’m old #2 I’m retired #3 I only taught K and 1 (lol)… thank you for always putting out great tutorials, love and appreciate them and you!

[@kinderjenni]

* easy not east 🙄

[@frenchwithmadameg1116]

Wow, so many good tips and tricks. I'm going to have to start playing around with Canva! Can all of this be done in the free version or do you need the pro or educators version? I was very intrigued by the canva live feature, but as a middle school teacher, I have some questions. 1. Can you preview the questions BEFORE they are displayed for the students to see? 2. Can you disable the "anonymous" feature? I can just imagine what middle schoolers would try to do with this feature and am just curious as to what security measures are in place, if any. To anyone who teaches middle school reading this comment, If you know, you know. HAHA. Also, I have to say that I created a Google Sites website for my classes using your video. You are so great at tutorials. It was so easy to do and I have it linked with my signature (used that video to create one) right in my email. I have gotten a lot of compliments on both my signature and my site! Thanks for helping a veteran teacher refresh their ideas! Have a great week and I hope you have an amazing birthday weekend!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Most of the features are available with the free version but of course some are part of the pro version. To answer your questions about Canva Live, I haven't found a way to turn off the anonymous feature but to "preview" the questions, you can have them hidden on your presentation and then switch tabs so you aren't display them as you read through them... hopefully that makes sense. But, I'm so happy that you were able to create a Google Site... that's fantastic! Plus being able to link it in your signature is 🎉 I'm happy to hear that you've gotten compliments on it too! Thanks again as alwayas and have a great week ahead! 🖤

[@LottyDotty05]

Teacher work day today. Am I going to get everything done? No, absolutely not. Am I going to spend time doing this? Yes, I absolutely will 😅😂

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

LOL! It's like that sometimes! If it makes you feel better, you can NEVER get everything done anyway! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰

[@loopner4689]

Can you save this to your Google Drive? I'm assuming I can download as a PPT and then convert to slides but I'm sure I'm going to lose something with the conversions.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

You are correct... you can download the slides as a PowerPoint file and then upload that to Google Drive. But, my question would be why do you need to add it to your Google Drive?

[@loopner4689]

@@PocketfulofPrimary because sadly apps and resources go away. If it's held within their system, and it goes under ... so goes my work.

[@loopner4689]

Can you play Google slide deck through Canva that's already been created?

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

I'm not sure what you mean by "play"... do you mean "present"? You can upload a Google Slides presentation to Canva and then present from there.

[@jamesagard7458]

Do you have a video that will show me how to make an escape room using Canva? Please send me a link if you have it. Thanks.

[@4star62]

Can you insert Kahoot, eg when in live mode?

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

I'm not sure what you mean by insert a Kahoot... Kahoot is a separate website so you would have to end your slideshow and switch tabs.

Is it possible to upload a slideshow template from your files?

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

You can upload a slideshow (from PowerPoint or Google Slides) and then save it as a template!
