As you probably know, I am a huge fan of Canva. I use it on a daily basis to create YouTube thumbnails, presentations, and teaching materials like my new Around the World With Google Earth activity. The great thing about Canva is that enables people like me who don’t have an eye for design to create things that look pretty darn good. But learning all of the features of Canva can take a while if you don’t know where to start or where to look. That’s why Canva has recently released a new design course for students.
Canva’s new Design Skills for Students course is a seven-part, self-paced course that teaches high school age students everything they need to know to create great graphics, animations, presentations, and more. Each part of the course has a short tutorial video followed by a practice activity for students to complete. Take a look at the first lesson right here.
