Digital Leaders Support Forum - An introduction to Canva for Education

Our new Digital Leaders Support Forum will allow educators with a passion for digital technology to come together to discuss and demonstrate our knowledge. As remote learning continues we are ever more reliant on digital technology but much of what we use now will become vital resources when we return to the classroom. This forum is for educators who would like to see what is working well for teachers in the Irish context and allow us to bring back ideas and resources to our own schools. Our focus will be on materials that are free and relatively easy to use and the hope is that members of the forum will share our knowledge with each other. A bank of resources can be complied based on the discussions within the group.

 An introduction to Canva for Education

Free for educators this website and app will allow you to create your own classroom content that is relevant to your context and curricular area. From static to moving content the only limitation is the imagination of the creator. It is ideal for the creator of posters and classroom material. Content can also be used for websites and social media. The education version allows you to build classrooms and assign students creative projects that can be marked and reviewed within the app.

It can take time to be registered as an educator so sign up to Canva for Education ahead of time to speed up the process.
