Canva and Kami

You've found (or made) an awesome Canva design,
but you aren’t sure how to make it "interactive" beyond just having students look at it.
Or, you're afraid of them deleting things you don't want them to.
That's real.

First up is Canva.

Canva is a wonderful place to design all of the things that you need for your educator life. However, it's not always the easiest place for students to be able to interact with, especially if they are brand new to any sort of design platforms like Canva or Adobe.

Need some ideas?

Check out the Canva Learning Library, a vast collection of free educational resources designed to help teachers, students, and creators master visual communication and teach their content.

You can export your design as a PDF or if you have the Kami extension, send it right to Kami from Canva (see link below for more on that!).

Enter Kami. By pairing these two, you can turn a beautiful static design into a dynamic learning experience.

Once you have that assignment made in Canva, give students the different simple tools they need to be the best they can. Whether it's drawing their answer, audio transcribing, or a picture dictionary, give them what they need!

Plus, with Kami and an LMS like Schoology, it'll collect everything in one place!

Whether it's using assignments or even just getting your first one set up, everyone can always use a refresher on how Kami works in Schoology. There are a few different ways to make assignments in Schoology, using feature control to providing only what students need for that assignment, or the auto-grading Questions tool.

DocsTeach was created by the National Archives education division to promote learning with and about the Archive's collection of documents (including text, videos, and photographs). It is a knowledge-centered website that allows users to explore all the available primary sources from the National Archives and share activities with students and peers. Educators can use pre-created activities or create their own activities. There are over 250 lesson activities and 1over 12,000 primary sources available for teachers and students.

Students can also perform their own research on documents and then select and download which ones are most relevant for their research. This research tool can promote critical thinking by allowing students to analyze primary sources and act like historians!

The True Size of Countries is an interactive map that lets you drag countries around the globe to see their real size compared to others. It corrects for Mercator projection distortion.

Use it as a quick visual tool for geography lessons and discussions about map accuracy!
