Canva Poster Review
This week I chose to use the tool Canva, which is a poster and collage editor. It is a very useful tool to use if you need to make something visual for any reason. After you sign up for the site, then you are able to pick what design you would like. They have many different designs
to pick from, anything from Facebook cover photos, to blog posters, to cards. So this site is useful to just about everyone. One problem I do see with this site is that you have to pay for the images that are provided on the site. You can search for any image but most pictures are $1.
All you have to do after you put your design is layout, visuals, and text you want on the poster. You are able to use the search bar to look up pictures in which you can use. Then you can pick which word bubble you would like. You are able to edit the text and write in whatever you please. Then once you are done you can share or download it to your computer. I emailed it to myself. My finished product is above, and I had fun using this tool. (I know Journey is spelled wrong, I closed the window before I would fix it)
The cool thing about this tool for teachers is that we could make posters for the walls in our classrooms. We can personalize them to fit the needs of our students the lessons we teach. I could make a new poster for each lesson or just do it when I think it would be very beneficial to my students. Having the students see a poster that looks professional but they know it is customized would really help spark creativity in them. So the poster would not only help the better understand the lesson I am presenting to them but it also help them think more creatively.
I would not have my students use this tool because I think it would be too complex for them to use. Since I will be working with younger children I think they would find this tool because it is not simple with regard to the amount of options that are presented for them.
