Introducing Canva

Friends,

We are pleased to share that we’ve recently launched Canva for Education school-wide! Canva makes it easy to create, collaborate, and communicate visually – in the classroom and beyond. If you’ve never heard of Canva for Education, you can learn more about the tool here.  And click here to go to Canva.

With Canva for Education, you can create education presentations, lesson plans, worksheets, reports, posters, and more. You can empower your students through authentic assessments and tasks, enabling them to create beautiful, real-world deliverables quickly and easily. You can use Canva for student assignments and enable real-time collaboration on Canva projects.

Everyone with an FCS email address will receive all the benefits of Canva for Education, including all of Canva’s “pro” features, at no cost and with no validation or application required. You can log in to our new Canva team with your FCS Google credentials at www.canva.com. You can also log in using the link on your Canvas classes. All students have access to Canva as well!

Please take some time to review this teacher onboarding guide from the team at Canva. We encourage everyone to review these materials, as there are some aspects of the FCS Canva platform that will differ from what you may be used to if you’ve already used Canva. If you already have a Canva account under your district email address it’s especially important to pay attention to the pages that have to do with logging in, switching teams, and copying files. You can view just those pages in Canva’s Login Instructions, here.

If you have any questions about Canva or would like to learn more about using Canva in the classroom, you can contact us at FCIT. There are also lots of great resources available at designschool.canva.com.  Finally, note that Canva integrates seamlessly with Canvas. It’s a powerful presentation tool that we look forward to sharing with you.

Sincerely,

FCIT
