Canvas is a global solution, so providing quality guides in multiple languages has always been a top priority for Instructure. Guides in Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Welsh have been available for some time. However, only English, Portuguese, and Spanish guides could be found on our community site. The limitations of our previous community platform made publishing and organizing multi-language documentation difficult, so we housed many of those guides in a location outside of our Community. 

A few days are left of this horrible year

So we offer these gifts and some holiday cheer

To make this Community a better place

Bias. Racism. Awareness. Equity. Just a few of the many powerful words heard in recent conversations around the globe following weeks of protests and unrest that clearly demonstrate we all have work to do. These conversations can be difficult, even painful at times, but very necessary. As a Community, our role in these conversations is to create a respectful environment, encourage growth, and empower each individual by sharing resources for learning and discovery.

It takes amazing educators like you to help all of us get through difficult times. 

After spending a social distancing week at home trying to work a full-time job and act as primary caregiver for my two young daughters, I was exhausted.

My Twitter feed has been pretty sour lately with coronavirus this, COVID19 that, and strained learning professionals, eager to help as many people as they can.

On Friday, March 13th, at 4:00 the Governor of the State of Utah announced that all K-12 schools would be immediately closed for two weeks in order to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 within our state. 

These are strange times we're in, unprecedented in so many ways.

I want it to be clear that you are a super-special educator who is providing continuity and stability through innovation. You're making a difference!

In a very short period of time, I have witnessed how you have re-defined the term Champion, and have gone above and beyond helping your colleagues at FIU College of Business as you designed and implemented a 4 step plan to support them and shared it as well so everyone can benefit from it.

Dr. Martha Bowman is my daughter's 8th grade science teacher in the Monroe County Community School Corporation in Bloomington, Indiana.

In the face of disruption and uncertainty, educators are finding ways to provide continuity and stability through innovation. Some are reaching out directly to their students, some are lifting and educating other teachers, some are sharing their brilliance with anyone in the world—and some are doing all of these. If you’re in education, you’ve surely been influenced/inspired by an educator who has gone above and beyond in the current circumstances.

Valentines is over, but my love for you continues. 

What can I say?  You came into my life at a time when everything was changing and fear of the unknown was terrifying! Then there you were! 

When you came into my life, it was instant love affair.

I don't know what I would do without you! In addition to saving me from lugging pounds of paperwork home every night, you have also helped me make the world a greener place.

I love using groups when I do professional development.

I have been in online learning for twenty years, and you are my FIRST onboarding experience that was fun, hands-on, customized and completely useful.

Oh, Canvas how I love you. Let me count the ways.

This is our first year on this Canvas LMS journey but your Canvas Community and Canvas Support teams are making this a great first year!

You are truly a gift and mean so much to me!

Keep on reading and the reasons for this you will see.

I love your SpeedGrader feature, it allows me to grade online in a flash and submit comments too.

I teach the most AMAZING little rockstars! My K-2 ESE kids are just beginning to learn how to use Canvas and other online resources.

While living in Southwest Missouri, working on my Master's degree in Instructional Technology, teaching high school physics, and coaching soccer, I fell in love with Canvas.

With all my love I want to thank you to help connecting all the teachers of all the adult education schools from Catholic Education Flandres!!!

My appreciation for you is all the time,

I will express my reasons in a cheesy rhyme.

I don't know what I'd do without Canvas Teacher ...and the rest of the Canvas mobile apps, for that matter!

I cannot live without the Blueprint feature.
