Canva Poster
I used Canva to create a classroom constitution for my Social Studies Methods field experience. This classroom constitution was created by the second grade class I was teaching, so all wording and rules are theirs. I simply made the constitution into a poster. In order to sign up for Canva, I simply had to create a free account. After creating my account, all I had to do was create my poster! To create, you must choose a theme, photos, and/or text.
This artifact fits into Component 2C because teachers could easily use Canva to create a poster with the classroom rules in order to establish their classroom procedures. It specifically fits into element 1, which is managing instructional groups. A Canva poster could fit into this element because a teacher could utilize Canva to create a poster with rules, similar to the one I created, but they could use their rules poster for group work. This way students would know what is expected of them when they are instructed to work in groups.
Canva fits into the Substitution of the SAMR model. The reason it only falls into substitution is because anyone can create a poster without using this tool. I did like how user friendly the tool was, however. All I had to do was choose a template I liked and insert the text that I wanted. I would like to use this tool to create posters in my future classroom. I would most likely use it to create a poster similar to the one above as well as posters that apply to the content I am teaching.
