Canva

Teacher Notes:

With Canva, teachers and students can create:
- Visuals
- Presentations
- Posters
- Infographics
- Graphic organizers
- Flashcards
- Images
- Other digital media

Teachers can use pre-made templates to represent and organize information to support ELL students.
The use of colors, images and organizational tools make content more engaging for students.

Teacher tip: Teachers can download a PDF or take a screenshot of their creation on Canva, upload it on Google Translate and translate the document or image to a student's native language.

Teacher tip: Teachers can add links (to supplementary videos) to the visuals and post the linked version of their creation on Google Classroom. This allows students to be able to get additional help to practice the content outside of the classroom.
