Description
Canvas is more than just a Learning Management System for coursework—it is a powerful tool for communication, collaboration, and engagement beyond the traditional classroom. This session explores innovative ways Canvas is used to streamline processes, enhance professional collaboration, and support students, staff, and families. Presenters will showcase real-world applications, including school-wide communication, professional learning hubs, student organizations, advisory groups, and parent engagement. Additionally, they will highlight insights from their phased rollout for elementary schools, sharing strategies for teacher training, adoption, and integration. Attendees will leave with practical ideas to maximize Canvas as a dynamic platform for organization, outreach, and engagement in their schools.
