Let’s settle it. Which Canva feature is at the top of your favorites list? 🥇🏆✨

@mrshowell24 A few people from my team are there!

I’m headed to #SXSWEDU I’m excited to connect with educators and leaders to share insights on leading AI-driven school transformation and building a culture of innovation without overwhelming staff. If you’re thinking about scaling impact across your district, let’s connect.

Very much enjoyed the 'What's New in Canva Education - Jan/Feb 2026 Edition' youtu.be/F4bJPGYyg-E?si… via @YouTube! @LeenaMarieCanva did a great job.

@apsitjen @canva @creativecloud @BookCreatorApp Absolutely. So informative.

@EdTechAly @canva @creativecloud @BookCreatorApp Thanks so much for joining me at #NCTIES26.

Opening session with @apsitjen was amazing. Leveraging @canva @creativecloud @BookCreatorApp and so much more #EdTech in ELA. Oh, and we received the coolest phone stand!

Ready for #ncties26 !

@opencontent Thank you for taking the time to respond, Dr. Wiley. Your last paragraph was especially helpful. It gave me a clearer way to think about the path forward and what actions need to take place. From a change‑management or ID perspective, which one would you tackle first?

A handful of us worked really hard from about 2015 - 2018 to help publishers see the benefits of being open. Several started sponsoring the OpenEd Conference, attending the conference, and even announcing fledgling #OER initiatives at the conference. But in the conference hallways and at their sponsor booths, publisher representatives were told - in no uncertain terms - that the first, small steps they were taking toward openness were unacceptable, and that they weren't welcome at the event or in the community. A ton of time and effort - and even more good will - went up in a puff of smoke. In my opinion it was a massive "own goal" by the community and set them back at least a decade. So to answer your question, you would need two things. First, you'd need new leadership at the publishers who don't remember how badly they got burned by the community. Second, you would need a community that was willing to admit the massive amount of value commercial publishers could add as members, that would do the hard work of helping publishers understand the value publishers would gain by being open, and that nurtured and supported the publishers as they struggled to find their way into the community.

In this new episode of the Speaking of Higher Ed podcast, Arthur Takahashi interviews me about #OER, #GenerativeAI, and how the integration of these might change the future of education. I've been interviewed a number of times in the past, but no one has ever been as well prepared for our interview as Arthur. This was really fun conversation and provides a great overview of my current thinking on these topics. youtube.com/watch?v=ziCo7i…

@mrshowell24 Thanks so much, Stephanie! I really appreciate you sharing this! I love how the resource pairs reflection with goal setting in a simple but actionable way. I also noticed the Google Slides link under the video and went ahead and requested access.

@EdTechAly I would do this Fast and Curious youtu.be/BcMRHwKNm_U. But change it to those goals!

Reflection doesn’t have to be complicated. This digital journal helps students check their pace, reflect on mastery, make connections, and ask questions — all in one place. Metacognition made manageable. #StudentReflection #FormativeAssessment #EdTech youtube.com/watch?v=FCw2AJ…

@SethPonder @jmattmiller @MrKline_EdTech @3DChampion @magicschoolai for brainstorming and planning. I have not used it for managing.

Which AI tool do you suggest for helping students with student projects- like brainstorming, planning, project managing? @jmattmiller @MrKline_EdTech #PLTW @3DChampion

@themerrillsedu @canva @CanvaEdu Can you share the link to this Webquest as either a template or the public view link? I just did a webquest with Spanish 1 students in Canva. We used whiteboards!

Create interactive webquests right in @Canva! 👀✨ Now, each page in a design has its own hyperlink! 🔗 That means you (or your students) can guide the adventure exactly where it needs to go! 🚀 For more @CanvaEDU tips & tricks ⤵️ themerrillsedu.com/blog-1/2024/4/… #interACTIVEclass

@opencontent Thanks so much for responding. I’d love your take: what would it take to engage commercial course materials companies?

@EdTechAly I would be super happy about how successfully the open source software community engaged commercial software companies and super depressed about how the OER community has utterly and completely failed to engage commercial course materials companies.

@mrshowell24 I am working with second grade Ss as they learn to use the laptop (logging in, accessing ClassLink, Google Classroom...)

@EdTechAly I would recommend 4 and up What age for younger

@Catlin_Tucker Dr. Tucker, thanks for sharing your blog post! How do you recommend teachers handle it when a new strategy just totally flops? Thank you!
