Student-Created Videos Using Canva
Jamie Crumbaker, a Sports Medicine teacher at Williams Field High School, knew she wanted her students to use technology to enhance their learning for an upcoming ankle wrapping lesson. Rather than just having her students watch videos about how to do ankle wrapping, she wanted her students to create their own videos.
She decided to use Canva, a tool that allows students to demonstrate learning through different formats-- group projects, videos, posters, and more. Canva has become a popular choice for students to create various visual materials since it has an intuitive interface, vast library of templates, and easy-to-learn features.
When planning, Jamie thought about the SAMR Model and wanted to ensure that she was enhancing and transforming students' learning.
The SAMR Model is a framework that helps teachers integrate technology into their teaching practices. SAMR stands for:
Substitution- Technology acts as a direct substitute, with no functional change.
Augmentation- Technology acts as a direct substitute, with functional improvement.
Modification- Technology allows for significant task redesign.
Redefinition- Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.
Jamie assigned the following assignment to students via her Canvas course:
In Canva, you will create a instructional video on how to tape an ankle. It needs to be broken up with parts and slides used to explain the different parts as well. This is a group assignment. You will have 2 days to work on it. I will help with animations and transitions. Create your videos as if we plan to post these on the Internet for other students to learn how to tape an ankle.
Use the HOSA guidelines for your procedures.
You will share the Canva public view link to submit your assignment via Canvas.
Below is the ankle taping rubric Jamie shared with her students so they knew what their success criteria was prior to beginning the assignment.

Students were engaged, interested in what they were learning, and had full creative control over their videos.
The ankle wrapping lesson transformed student learning in the following ways:
Visual Storytelling- Students turned their ideas into engaging visuals, strengthening their ability to communicate effectively.
Problem-Solving- Students created a plan, organized their thoughts, and found solutions to challenges.
Technical Proficiency- Using Canva empowered students to learn and apply essential digital skills such as video editing, captioning, and audio.
Collaboration- Canva allowed students to collaborate on and share their work.
Active Learning- Students were actively engaged with the material leading to deeper understanding and better retention.
Public Speaking- Creating and presenting videos help students develop confidence in public speaking and improve their delivery.
Authentic Tasks- Video projects often simulate real-world scenarios, providing students with valuable hands-on experience.
Canva offers a platform for students to create engaging and informative videos. By combining creativity, technology skills, and critical thinking, students can enhance their learning experiences and develop essential skills.
