Canva for Education is a powerful yet easy-to-use graphic design tool that allows educators to create beautiful teaching resources of all kinds, from posters, to presentations and documents, to videos, and much, much more! With more than 250,000 thousand templates, graphics, photos, and videos, Canva for Education is useful for both novices and more experienced graphic designers alike.
