After reading Katie’s blog post. I decided to give Canva a try. I like to try new things and push myself to learn new ways I can teach more effectively.
I think Canva will be a great teaching tool to use in my classrooms. Katie does a great job explaining what Canva is so please feel free to click on
her post to learn more about it.

Basically, Canva is a graphic design tool that anyone can use to make amazing designs for any kind of project you have in mind.
It’s easy to use and what intrigued me the most was that you can make your presentations look amazing and professional without paying money.
However, there are fonts or images and other things that Canva might charge you for but they aren’t too expensive.

My Experience with Canva
I started by linking my Google account with Canva. It was super easy and straightforward to do. As a side note, Katie’s video helped me a lot and
also I found this other video that I liked as well. It is from Five Minute Social Media through Youtube. Here is the video:

Next, I had to decide what to make through Canva. I attached an image of what I saw after I created an account with them and selected what
profession I have:

I decided to create a poster for our school’s mentor social event. I was going to make a presentation for my students but since I am still new
at this I decided to try with a poster first.

I went through all the designs and I decided to pick one that had images that I was looking for.
Below, you will see the final poster I have created through Canva:
Do I Recommend This?
Absolutely! It was so easy to make a professional looking poster! I had so much fun creating it as well. I will keep “playing” with Canva and see
what other things I can make. I know that I will be making a presentation next so I will let you all know how that goes. One thing that I did notice
is that if you would like to print your poster through Canva and you used a premium design, then they will make you pay for it. However, as long
as you don’t use any of their premium features, then you will be fine. Thank you for reading my blog! I will see you all next time.

I am glad you made use of the information Katie posted and tried a new edtech tool. I like the poster that you created for your event I also liked that you embedded the image. Learning from others and getting inspired to create your own is what it is all about when you are learning how to learn technology.
