Celebrate Excellence in Education: Nominate Outstanding Educators by April 15!
I love the Free-for-Teachers side of Canvas, because it helps me become familiar with the new UI before my district rolls it out. Also, it allows for collaboration and sharing beyond my school district. Recently, another Canvas Community Member, Kelley Meeusen, added me as a student in the Canvahacks Demo Course. Through this course, I was able to explore a lot of really cool "hacks" for teachers. I have been looking at creating some PD for the teachers in my district who are looking to take the Canvas to the next level . This past year has been our first full year of implementation and some are ready to take off and keep growing. The flexibility with the Free-for-Teachers, helps keep me inspired and on fire! @kmeeusen
