CANVA Tutorial and Review

 Canva has changed my life as a teacher. I first discovered Canva after searching for worksheets for Kindergarten. I created an account and was amazed oh how easy was to use CANVA. I found so many useful resources to use with my Kindergartners. I started creating my own worksheets that fit my classroom's unique needs. I used it to make cute flyers/announcements for every event, holiday, break or parent teacher conferences. I sent these announcements via Parent Square; an app to communicate with parents. 

In Canva, you can design flyers, education resources, word documents, presentations, videos, calendar and much more. My favorite is "flyer" you can drag and place text and pictures freely. Every single teacher I have shared Canva with, is in love with Canva! I will use Canva in a different way for an upcoming project. After searching and trying other apps I realized that Canva has everything I need! Canva also has a video feature. You can edit, add music and sound effects. I am excited to show you how easy it is to use it.

When you log in click video, you can see a sidebar with some of the features to start creating. From text, to clip art, you can design anything on Canva! 

I added a "hallway" background, and used circles, words and clipart. I kept the letter font simple and large. I added a song and animated the clip art. I added a voice note of 5 seconds of my daughter saying "Proyecto Bloom" (The name of the channel). Sounds like a lot of work right? It can feel like a lot of work if you start a project without a plan. Canva is beginner friendly and now in days, it is very easy to find a Canva tutorial video. I have even seen TikToks teaching step by step tutorials.

I will keep working on the next part of the video and design as I go. I am excited to see the final outcome. This is my first time creating a video using Canva and so far it has been very friendly.

I can't wait to come back and show you the outcome!
