"Cultivating Creativity Through Digital Design" will talk about the impact of Technology Club, and the use of Canva in the classroom with students and how it allows them to create digital work in a more user friendly way than google slides.
In addition we will talk about how Canva fosters teamwork because stuents can work in partners, it helps assists in digital literacy/compentency, allows teachers to assess students in ways other than paper worksheets, allows collaboration among classrooms. Canva bridges the gap between English speakers and ELL students via the magic switch.
It prepares elementary students early to create digital work that is balanced, appealing to audiences, stays on topic, and meets the needs of what it is produced for, i.e. a slide show for a presentation, a sign up sheet for an event, a poster to inform or advertise, etc.
It allows creativity and boost confidence from students who struggle with handwriting and or drawing, allowing the use of color, clipart, text styles, etc.
