Canva
Canva is a site that is new to me, but so far I love it. So far, I have only scratched the surface of what it can do but I had to share some of those options with everybody. I do plan to dig into it more and continue to share and update on the many options it has!
There are a lot of options when it comes to signing up for Canva, but when using your school email, you get the free educator option, which unlocks a lot of features.
To sign up you will want to go this link . This will take you to the Canva for Education page and all you will need to do is click "sign up" and fill out the information. In order to confirm you're a teacher, you will have to put in your email address, and maybe some extra information. If I remember correctly, it verifies it almost instantly. (If you have any questions on signing up, let me know!)
Some of the educational features that Canva offers are as follows:
*All of these options can be edited, or used as is!
