Type of Learning:
When used as a presentation tool, Canva can fall under any part of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
This is because if students are looking at presentations that their teachers have created they are most likely using lower-order thinking skills such as remembering, understanding, and applying because they are trying to retain the information from the presentation. On the other hand, if students are asked to view presentations with the purpose of comparing different ideas, making decisions based on what is shared in the presentations, or creating their own presentations then they are likely engaging in higher-level thinking skills.
Type of Learning Experience:
Canva can be used to create learning experiences that incorporate learning through visual symbols, still pictures, motion pictures, and exhibits. This is because Canva can be used to create presentations that include text, images, and videos. These presentations can then be shared amongst the class.
Integration Techniques:
One way that Canva can be used with younger students is by assigning each student a letter of the alphabet and by having them create their own slide in a presentation with examples of things that start with their letter. For example, if the student had the letter Pp, then they would include their letter on the slide along with images or graphics of things that they find that start with their letter such as pumpkins, pigs, popcorn, etc. Once the students have created their slides they can share them with the class. The other students could also take turns giving other examples that they can come up with for each letter. This presentation could serve as an ongoing project that students can add to.
