Do more with Canva faster!
Dear WSD Colleagues,
Long time, no see! After a small hiatus during the end of the term, we're glad to be back with another helpful Tech Tip! As we are well into our next term of the year, we want to share a handful of tips throughout the quarter designed to help you try something new with your students using little known features in tools with which you might already be familiar. With that being said, we're excited for you to check out what we have for you today!
Let's get to it!
A Quick Automation to Streamline Work
Click the image to check out a quick video tutorial from Jaymee Barrowes about how teachers can use Canva and Google Sheets to quickly create a personalized document for a group of students. If you find yourself making end of quarter or end of year awards frequently, this tip is for you!
Certificates and More!
The process that Jaymee shows in the video can be used for a variety of different applications! For example, if a teacher generated a Google Form where students answer quick questions about all of their favorite things, the teacher could then use the data from that Form in Google Sheets to quickly make personalized All About Me graphic or poster for each student in the class!
Wrapping Up
As we move into the second quarter, our department is here to help get you to Winter Break and beyond! As you evaluate your needs for professional learning, be sure to keep us in mind for any one-on-one coaching, grade-level team collaboration, PLC Team meetings, or faculty get-togethers! We're here to help you take the next step when working with all of our digital learning tools.
Never forget the difference you make!
Take care,
