INTERVIEW 🎙️ Canva Education has become a favorite among teachers and students since its launch as a free educational platform designed for classroom use. This tool simplifies the creation of visuals and documents without requiring professional software expertise. Widely used in primary education for crafting visuals and charts to enhance printed materials, it has also gained traction in secondary education thanks to its collaboration and sharing features.
You may be among the thousands of teachers, students, or casual users who turn to Canva for lesson preparation or classroom graphic projects. Introduced in France in 2021 in its Education version, this « Australian » platform has firmly established itself as part of classroom teaching practices today.
Canva Education is free, a decision driven by its founder, Melanie Perkins, who was once a teacher herself and comes from a family of educators. Despite being ranked as the 10th richest person in Australia, Melanie Perkins and her partner have pledged half of their fortune to philanthropic causes.
As a global company, Canva offers the Canva Education platform to all levels of schooling, from primary to higher education. It enables users to create and customize lesson plans, infographics, posters, videos, and much more.
Notably, Canva is 100% free for teachers and students from eligible educational institutions.
The essence of Canva’s philosophy, and the key to its success with teachers, lies in the ease of creating designs without requiring advanced skills. The popularity of the Canva Education and AI conference held at Educatech Expo this year confirms the success of this unique offering!
