Hello everyone!

If you're here for the eVillage breakout sessions Canvas for Beginners or Individualizing Instruction in Canvas, you're in the right place!

This Canvas course is here to serve as an example with just some of the things you can do. Canvas is a versatile tool that's easy and fun to use when you get the hang of it. It's that whole getting the hang of it thing that takes some practice. Once you know a little of what you're doing, you can start unlocking the many powerful features it has to offer.

Remember that the more you put on Canvas, the more responsibility your students have once they leave your classroom!

"I lost my worksheet," it was on Canvas!

"I left my notebook at school," the notes are on Canvas!

"I forgot the test was today," the calendar is on Canvas!

"I wrote down the wrong problems," you should have checked Canvas!

My best advice is to set a goal for the school year. What do you want to accomplish in Canvas? My goals have been:

1. Make an assignment for every homework and project piece

2. Create a digital practice quiz for every unit

3. Make a page to organize content by chapter

4. Give each chapter a banner using Canva

What are your goals?

In this course, I've made some examples so you can see what it's like from a student's perspective. You can check them out by clicking on the links!
