Canva
What is Canva?
Canva is a website that allows users to create a variety of tools such as posters, blog graphics, and infographics. Users can design different elements in order to enhance the appearance and overall meaning of the tool.
What did you create and how did you create it?
In order to create the digital poster, I first selected "infographics" and browsed the different formats until I found one that would work well with my information. I then organized my study tips into different categories in order to make it visually appealing and coherent. After I was done, I saved my infographic and can now use it for educational purposes.
Artifact Description:
How does it fit into Danielson framework of teaching and the component you identified?
Using Canva fits into Domain 2: The Classroom because by making an infographic, I was able to create something that could be used in an educational environment. Furthermore, it fits into Component 2C: Managing Classroom Procedures. Creating an infographic using Canva allows educators to manage classroom procedures by organizing lessons and projects. Canva can be used to create many different tools. Thus, because teachers must be mindful of management of materials and supplies the site allows teachers to create opportunity for student growth in the classroom.
Artifact Reflection:
What did you enjoy about creating the artifact?
I greatly enjoying using the Canva website. It is a very organized and thorough website that provides the opportunity for users to create specific projects. I like how the website has templates that can be personalized for individual use. I used one of these templates and found that it was easy to edit material to include my content.
How does this experience relate to Growth Mindset?
Using Canva allowed me as a future educator to experience a growth mindset. Having only created one infographic before using Canva, I was able to learn more about their purpose and how I can organize them to aid comprehension. Also, by utilizing a new website with which I was not previously familiar, I was able to grow my understanding of different sources. On the other hand, students are able to experience a growth mindset when they view the infographic because it provides them with content information. Also, if they are not familiar with infographics, they can become more accustomed to using this type of educational tool.
How can you use this tool in your future classroom?
As a future educator, I can use Canva in my classroom in many ways. For example, I can create an infographic as I did in this case to organize content information. I can also create posters to post important announcements around the classroom. Canva also allows users to create graphics that can be used as flyers. These flyers can then be sent home to parents to make them aware of upcoming events or activities.
