Canva



Intro:
Think of Canva as your all-in-one digital design studio. It lets you create posters, worksheets, presentations, and newsletters with simple drag-and-drop tools. Everything looks professional without needing any design experience.

Ease of Use:
Canva’s templates make it extremely easy to use. You can choose from posters, slides, worksheets, labels, planners, anything, and customize it in seconds. It also auto-saves and works across devices.

Versatility:
Teachers can create anchor charts, newsletters, and visual supports. Students can design posters, project covers, storyboards, or presentations. Canva offers endless possibilities for creativity.

Likelihood of Usage:
I will absolutely use Canva in my classroom. It’s perfect for creating visuals that help students follow along and stay engaged. Students also love how creative they can be with it.

Connection to the Seven-Framework Teaching Strategies:
Canva connects strongly to #1: Gaining Attention because bright, well-designed visuals instantly capture student interest at the start of a lesson. It also supports #4: Presenting the Content, because visuals, diagrams, and modeled examples make new learning clearer and more accessible—especially for multilingual learners or visual thinkers.
