[ARCHIVED] Interactive Activities in Canvas

[mewilliford]

I have purchased interactive activities through TPT and would like to put them into Canvas so that each student has their own copy.  Is this possible?  Thanks.

 @mewilliford , greetings! To help with this, could you provide a bit more information about the type of activity you've purchased (video, powerpoint, PDF, etc.)? Or even the link to one of them (on the TPT website). That will help us in the Community better help you in adding it to your course for your students. 🙂

Kona,

Thank you for the follow-up.  I think that most are made with google docs, google slides or powerpoint.  Here is an example- https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_2oTstyQkpUMW6XXvUjJGsXV32m7cA63Tat0IPtDbRY/edit#slide=id.p3 .  They are usually made with two options, one is to download to my drive and then to put in Google Classroom, and the other is to add to SeeSaw.  I have been able to add them to my Google Classroom and have them open up without issue.  I used Google Classroom in the spring and had no issues.  We are now told that we have to use Canvas when school starts, so am trying to add things...with 50/50 success.

Here's another example:
