Hi Canvas Family!

I would love to start a discussion where we share interactive content resource ideas with each other!  As a K12 teacher, I found that embedding content from external interactive sites really enhanced the interactivity and excitement in my Canvas courses.  Just by generating or finding the embed code for this content, we are able to bring many more learning opportunities into the Canvas learning environment versus having to send students outside of Canvas to complete tasks and activities.  Some of my favorite K12 friendly interactive sites that embed well into Canvas are (click on the icons to go to the sites):

I would love to learn about some additional resources from all of you!  I look forward to seeing what you share.
