I'm a new teacher. I will be teaching middle school Career and Technology (CTE) Pathways. What suggestions do you have for effectively leveraging Canvas? Also, do you have any Lessons Learned?
Hello!
My suggestion is to be organized and consistent! 😊 The great thing about using Canvas is that any files you save there will be accessible to you as long as you use Canvas. Although it will take some effort to put things in folders and setting on your own naming conventions, it will help you for years to come. It's something I wish I did when I started!
A lesson learned is to give details to your students- over and over again. Especially with middle schoolers! Give details in your directions for anything. Try to predict what questions they might have and answer them before they even ask!
Wishing you all the best in the year to come! Your students are lucky to have someone who cares so much!
