Another great feature with Canva is that it can be integrated into our LMS, Canvas!
Detailed information is located here to set this up and common questions.
If you have questions about this I am always happy to help support you, too!
Import a PDF file
On your Canva homepage, click the Create a design button on the top-right corner, and select Import PDF to select your document. Or simply drag and drop your file to your homepage. It will then convert your PDF into a Canva design.
Customize your PDF
Locate your converted PDF in the All your designs section. Click the corresponding design thumbnail and begin editing your PDF. Resize your file or instantly change the text, images, graphics, and other elements that are present in your PDF file.
Transform into any design asset
Next, elevate your PDF-based designs into any creative asset. Add animations, GIFs, or music to make videos or presentations. Or resize into printable cards, brochures, postcards, and more.
Compress and convert
On the upper right corner of the editor, compress and download your work. Turn your custom design into JPEG, PNG, and SVG files, or in PDF again. Capture any animated elements and effects by ideally saving them in MP4 video or GIF.
Share and publish in any format
Conveniently share your work straight from Canva. Give access to view or edit your design with a click of the Share button on the upper-right corner. Or, click the three dots to choose between publishing your assets on your social media or as a presentation, website, or an embedded link.
One of the items I know many of us use at the beginning of the year is Ice Breakers in our classrooms.
Canva offers templates that are ready to use or you can customize to fit your needs. There are lots of ice breakers available!
