Canva is a nice tool for designing infographics, collages, flyers, and slides in your web browser or on your iPad. I’ve been a fan of the service since it launched. In fact, I like it so much that I became an unpaid advisor to them when they started thinking about developing resources specifically for teachers.

The new Canva for Education site features eighteen lesson plans written by Vicki Davis, Steven Anderson, Terri Eichholz, and Paul Hamilton. The lesson plans include things like Paul’s making historical infographics in which students summarize and visually represent the connections between historical events and their causes. For the elementary school crowd Terri has a lesson called Initial Selfies in which students learn to isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds. One of Steven’s lesson plans calls for students to build graphics about percentages. And to take advantage of students’ familiarity with Facebook, Vicki has built a lesson plan in which students build historical figure fan pages.
