Have students choose a new vocabulary word and create one slide with a definition, synonym, or antonym, a visual, and a sentence that shows the word in context. They can use an animated graphic or video background sparingly to help communicate the word's meaning. Small groups can create a short slide deck that explains a scientific process, such as the water cycle, photosynthesis, erosion, or a food chain. Students use visuals and animations to show the sequence of steps, then add captions that explain each stage in clear, accurate language. After reading a novel or short story, have students create a book trailer or character profile using presentation templates, graphics, and background media. They can include key setting details, character traits, conflict, theme, and a recommendation without giving away the ending.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This interactive combines Canva for Education, reviewed here and SchoolAI, reviewed here to share an interactive learning experience about women who inspire the world. The document features nine women from diverse fields, including Jane Goodall and Mae Jamison, for students to engage with in "conversation." After selecting one of the women, the link leads to a SchoolAI space, where you begin the conversation by entering a name or pseudonym. The featured woman begins the conversation with a brief introduction, then asks a question. Continue the conversation by entering information and asking questions in the message box. SchoolAI spaces provide additional learning support by including a listen button that reads the text aloud.

In the Classroom
Share this interactive with students as part of a learning center activity, then ask students to select one of the women to study further. Use Canva to create a similar activity for various classroom uses that features historical figures, explorers, authors, or other people of interest. View the archive of OK2Ask: Canva Basics: Using Templates to Support Classroom Communication, reviewed here, to learn more about how to create with Canva. By creating a template of your own and using your SchoolAI account, teachers can view students' discussions within spaces, monitor engagement, track progress, and analyze conversations. SchoolAI is FERPA- and COPPA-compliant and includes built-in safety guardrails for student use.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
