Canva Review -- There's More That Meets The Eye

Canva Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Welcome back to another review of a web-based tool! This go around, I am talking about the ultimate free web-based, graphic design tool-- Canva! Many people know Canva for its variety of design templates including-- but not limited to--presentations, posters, social media posts, infographics and worksheets. Many professionals, including educators, utilize Canva to design materials and promote products and services. Check out Canva's introduction video below!


While many people know how helpful Canva can be for creating educational content like presentations, it's also great for students! After exploring the website, I found that Canva is actually a great way for students and educators to create tools, such as flashcards. That's right! students and teachers can design their very own set of flashcards right in Canva which can be printed and serve as a great-everyday, educational tool. Check out the video I created below, which will walk you through the creation of flashcards--specifically Math flashcards-- in Canva!


As you can see, Canva is really a great diverse tool to implement into classrooms. While there are subscriptions, there is also a free plan that still allows access to all of its basic features. Additionally, although Canva is a web-based tool, it also comes in the form of a mobile app! So, whether your accessing the tool from a desktop or a phone, you can rest assured that this easy-to-navigate tool will be able to get the job done!

Sora Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sora is a reading app and website that allows users to read ebooks and listen to audiobooks. Sora is without a doubt, a great tool that educators and students are using more and more! With its incredibly eye-catching design and easy-to-navigate interface, users can quickly find materials of interest. With books organized by themes in colorful ribbons, you can rest assured that students of a range of ages will be able to successfully use and interact with this tool.  Apart form the interface, I really enjoy the wide range of diverse titles available for readers. The collection is well-developed, and you are sure to find titles that meet your needs leisurely and in the classroom as well.

It makes story time more engaging and ensures that all of the students are able to see the pictures of the book.  The only drawback that many may associate wit...
