Outline

Visual Setup:

-Large screen or monitor displaying clickable “Canva Feature Tiles” (e.g., Magic Write, Magic Studio, AI Images, Brand Kit, Whiteboards, Videos, Docs).
-Each tile links to a slide or mini-demo showing:
*What the feature does and where in Canva it's located
*How teachers can integrate it into a student activity appropriate for their learners
*An example lesson or prompt from our own classroom

Interactive Flow:
-Visitors select a tile that interests them.
-Presenters demonstrate the feature in Canva in under 2 minutes.
-The display automatically moves to related lesson ideas and student examples.
-Participants receive a QR code linking to a shared digital board of templates and lesson resources.

Outcomes

After visiting the poster, participants will be able to:
-Identify key Canva features that enhance creativity and accessibility.
-Adapt those features into lessons across subjects and grade levels.
-Access a library of templates, prompts, and classroom ready ideas.
-Reimagine Canva as a student creation and teaching tool, not just for visuals.
