Take a look inside

7 images
Canva is a graphic design tool for iOS and the web.
There are tons of built-in templates, all sized and formatted for different purposes. Many are ready-made to share on different social media platforms.
Once you choose a template, you can upload images or use built-in images and designs to get started.
Canva for Education makes most of the tool's premium content freely available to teachers, and there are templates, tips, and tricks just for teachers, with lots of advice for how to use Canva in the classroom.
There's also a lively online community, plus there are teacher and student blog posts that offer ideas for using Canva in the classroom.
While there aren't tools for live collaboration, there are some good ideas for teachers and students to use Canva to work on designs together.
In addition to the step-by-step walkthrough you view when you first launch the site, there are tons of tutorials to help you make the most of Canva's powerful features.

Help students become graphic designers with their work with little hassle!
This takes the design away from students and allows them to really focus on what information they want to share. It can be tricky when they select a design with not enough space for text, but it has every option to add more. It offers students a way to make professional products without really having to know design concepts, which is (and should be) a class on its own.
