CANVA

Canva is a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content. The app already includes templates for users to use. The platform is free to use if you are a teacher. Once you sign up for the app, you will need to upload evidence that you are an educator to get access to the premium version.  Click this link to upgrade to the free educator account.

You can even upload your own photos and add them to Canva's templates using a drag and drop interface. It's like having a basic version of Photoshop that's free and doesn't require extensive photo editing knowledge to use. Here's everything you need to know about using Canva.

Canva is home to thousands of free (50,000+), professionally designed templates that, thanks to their drag and drop interface, can be customized with just a few clicks. Simply upload your photos to Canva, drop them into the template of your choice, and save the file to your computer. Their template categories include Zoom  virtual backgrounds, posters, presentations, flyers, cards, infographics, business cards, Instagram posts, resumes, invitations, book covers, menus, letterheads, newsletters, photo collages, tickets, bookmarks, invoices, recipe cards, Google Classroom headers and more. The Google Sites header on this page was created in Canva in a matter of minutes.
