Create Interactive Activities with Canva Code—No Coding Required

Description

Canva's AI code generator empowers educators to create quizzes, sorting tasks, matching games, and more without any coding or programming knowledge. Built into the free Canva for Education platform that many teachers already use, Canva Code lets educators design engaging, student-facing activities that go well beyond static slides and worksheets. In this session, participants will explore Canva Code's core capabilities, build at least one interactive activity, and connect the format to specific instructional purposes, including formative assessment, differentiated practice, and student engagement.

A Message from the Moderators

This page gives you everything you need to make the most of your session. Review the recommended accounts before you join, track your checkpoints during the session, and follow the certificate instructions when you're done.

Before You Begin

  • You will have the best live technical experience using either the Chrome or Firefox browser. (Note: we have also had success with the Edge browser.) Safari is NOT recommended. There is a TrainerCentral Learner app for Android and iOS.

  • Your lead facilitator recommends having accounts ready for the following tools before the session begins. Taking a few minutes to set these up in advance means you'll spend your time learning, not troubleshooting.

  • It is highly recommended that you create and log in with a Canva educator account. You can create a free educator account at https://www.canva.com/education/. Access to the free educator account requires authentication, so it is recommended that you create this account well in advance of the webinar. The educator account provides teachers with many of the PRO account features at no cost.

Session Checkpoints

Checkpoints help us verify your participation and are required to earn a certificate of completion. Here's what to expect during the session:

Checkpoint 1 — Say Hello
 Introduce yourself in the chat within the first 10 minutes of the session.

Checkpoint 2 — Schema Activator
 Participate in the opening poll or activity.

Checkpoint 3 — Google Form: Explore examples and plan 

Checkpoint 4 — Padlet Post: Link to sorting or matching activity

Checkpoint 5 — Link to interactive or gamified activity

Checkpoint 6 — Poll and Go
 Complete the closing poll before you leave.

If you experience technical difficulties during the session, most checkpoints can be completed up to one week after the live session date. Reach out to your facilitator if you need assistance.

Earning Your Certificate

To receive your certificate of completion you must complete all six session checkpoints and submit the post-session feedback survey. The feedback survey is how you request your certificate and is required for all participants — including those seeking state continuing education credit.

Certificates are typically issued within three weeks of the live session date.

Educators in Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Montana: Additional information required for state continuing education credit will be collected through the feedback survey.
