Canva is great for creating graphics and posters, but it can also be used to create presentations! Consider using a Canva Presentation for a lesson, staff meeting, or demonstration. This is a great alternative to Google Slides or PowerPoint. 

 

To create a presentation, navigate to Canva either through the Staff Portal, then sign-in with Google with a CCS account.

Use keywords to search the templates. For example content words such as math, or meet the teacher, or design terms such as pastels, or simple.

Edit the design by changing background colors, editing the font style, or adding in additional graphics and photos
