Nowadays, numerous tools allow creating content from the cloud without the need for installations on our devices. One very comprehensive tool that covers aspects as diverse as video editing, posters, social media posts, or website creation is Canva.
It is a very easy-to-use tool with simple and intuitive interfaces and tools that do not require extensive technical knowledge. This approach makes it ideal for educational use, both for teachers and students, allowing the creation of all kinds of projects, individual or collaborative, in the classroom. We could define it as a graphic design tool for everyone.
Canva offers all kinds of resources that can be used as a base in your projects: images, videos, photographs, and all kinds of templates, all of them royalty-free and even created using AI from prompts. This means that all its resources can be used to freely create educational materials.
Its ease of use also makes it suitable for use from mobile devices and tablets (for iOS and Android), so it would also fit perfectly into mLearning methodologies.
To see some of Canva's possibilities, this video explains how to make small educational shorts, for example, for Instagram or TikTok:
To conclude, here are a couple of more original proposals:
- Create a collaborative website. Suitable for any topic or project. Students can create a collaborative webpage to present their work to the world. With a simple interface that achieves professional results, the resulting webpage will be published with the subdomain of our choice (and available) on the my.canva.site domain.
- Create online stories with aesthetic wallpapers. High-quality wallpaper editing allows us to add elements to already created backgrounds, such as characters, stickers, videos, animations, etc. By adding different pages, students can use it to create their online stories or tales to then export them to video, PDF, or images.
These are just some ideas on how to use Canva in Education; there are many more!!
