__**What is Canva?**__

Canva is a free, easy to use, online tool that can be used by teachers and students to make professional quality graphics in no time at all.

__**What are the benefits of Canva?**__

Some of the benefits are:
 * students have creative ability to make writing come to life
 * opportunities to "advertise" upcoming units to be taught
 * enables students to be artist
 * user friendly
 * teacher use: to create graphics for classroom (ex. posters, presentations)
 * encourages creative thinking
 * 21st century skills

Something that we noticed as a limitation for Canva is that you must be 13 or older to use. So students who are K-8 would not be able to use Canva unless parent permission was granted.

 * What's your favorite book?
 * What's your favorite subject to teach?
