Whether you’re a teacher, instructional coach, or tech integrator, this episode is packed with transformative features and real classroom applications.
Featured Topic: Canva Create 2025Key Themes and Highlights:
Canva Sheets: The Spreadsheet ReimaginedA powerful new addition to the Canva suite—Canva Sheets brings AI-infused, visually pleasing spreadsheets to the classroom.
Bulk Background Remover: Easily remove backgrounds from dozens of student photos at once.
Bulk Create with Images: Mass-produce certificates, report cards, or newsletters by integrating images directly into your sheet.
Magic AI Prompts: Skip the formulas—just describe your needs and let AI do the rest (e.g., calculating budgets, charting grades).
Magic Insights: Auto-generate graphs, summaries, or positive student comments—great for data storytelling or end-of-year celebrations.
Student Access: Available to students in districts where Canva’s Magic tools are enabled.
Create multi-modal projects within a single file: combine slides, spreadsheets, videos, documents, and websites.
Use Case: Teachers can build unit plans with rubrics, grading sheets, lesson videos, and linked resources—all in one shareable design.

Great for prepping lessons, webinars, or class presentations on the fly.
Instantly generate quizzes from highlighted text in a lesson or document.
New classwork dashboard allows for real-time monitoring of student progress (especially for educators without an LMS like Google Classroom).
