What is Canva?

I'm happy to share that we've recently launched Canva for Education across all schools! All staff, teachers, and students now have access to the all-in-one visual communication platform, 100% free.

Whatever you want to create – presentations, posters, videos, digital whiteboarding, newsletters, a teacher portal, and integrate with Google Classroom or Canvas – you can do it all in Canva.

What's Next?

You can log in to your new school-based Canva team with your school credentials through CLEVER in SADDLEPORT. There, you can use the full power of Canva for Education as well as effortlessly working together with colleagues through real-time collaboration, easy sharing, feedback and comments, and more!

If you are already a Canva user with your svusd.org account the next time you log out and log back into Canva, you’ll be joined to the new school team. Your pre-existing content will be accessible by switching between teams; you can copy designs to your new school team by following these steps.
If you already set up a Canva user account using @saddleback.org, please put in a help desk ticket, so we can give you access, as all were created on our end using @svusd.org.

Please read the Canva teacher's guide, even if you've used Canva before - there are a few differences between our new organization-wide version of Canva and versions you may have used in the past.

To learn more about using Canva to support your work, check out Canva’s general learning site (Canva Design School) or their Teacher Resources page for resources specific to K-12 students and teachers.

How do I get the Pro features?

Your school or district team includes premium Canva features and a suite of education-specific features. Make sure you're working in your school or district team, and you'll have all the good stuff!

What if I have a paid subscription already?

If you have a paid subscription on a Canva team under your school email address you can cancel that subscription at any time. You won’t lose content in those paid teams even when you cancel the subscription. Some designs may acquire watermarks, which will be removed when you copy the designs to the school team. Your Canva for Education license covers use related to your educational work, so if you’re using Canva for any other kind of business, you’ll want to retain your paid subscription on a secondary team.
