Description
Are you a middle school teacher who usually ask your students to design or create posters as projects? Well, PowerPoint might be the common choice, but this limits collaboration especially if studying online or remotely.
Try Canva.
Canva is both a web-based and software/app-based design platform for posters, videos and even podcast! Apart from it's multi-media creation function, Canva allows creators - you and your students to collaborate on projects. They can work together where ever they are in the world!
What's more, by familiarizing Canva, you can add more fun, challenge and excitement to your classroom activities or class projects by having your students create their own media content.
