Visuals, Video, AI, Oh My! Canva for Education Does it All is designed to empower music educators with the skills and knowledge needed to harness the full potential of Canva for Education’s visual design and artificial intelligence tools. In an era where visual communication plays a pivotal role in engaging and educating students, this course will equip you with tools and techniques needed to create captivating, informative, and inspiring materials for your music classroom. Updated to reflect Canva’s new “Glow Up” interface and features, this project-based course will take a deep dive into Canva’s feature set, and provide ample opportunity for designing visual resources that will support your teaching and directly integrate into any teaching and learning environment. While Canva for Education will be the primary application for this course, other apps, such as Google Workspace, ChatGPT and other online resources will be explored and used throughout the course. This course is designed for music educators at all grade levels and disciplines. Come on this creative journey and elevate your music education to the next level!

This course is asynchronous. Schoology will be updated every Sunday with the next week’s assignments and resources. Participants are expected to check Schoology for updates. 

Each week contains reading, videos, hands-on projects, discussion, and peer feedback. Projects are designed to be flexible so that participants can develop resources relevant to their specific teaching situation. It is expected that an electronic portfolio containing all completed work for the course will be submitted at the end of the course.
