We were thrilled to have Sarah Giorgis-Pratt present on Canvas Studio!
Canvas Studio is an interactive, video-based learning tool that integrates seamlessly within Canvas. It has been dubbed the next-generation, interactive, video-centric approach to learning that turns one-way, passive video into two-way, inclusive, and productive discussions. Canvas Studio is an excellent resource for online, blended, or flipped-classroom learning and is also an engaging alternative to live conferences.
The article Increasing Engagement through Canvas Studio is great resource for learning how Studio can enriched your classroom.

As best practice, here are our recommended action items regarding end of the year communication to your teachers. See the template below and make changes as you see fit. We encourage you to send this as an email and a global announcement for teachers a few times as the end of the school year approaches. Before sending, you will want to check your term end dates/access dates for students and teachers, determine if teachers have access to create manual courses (if you want to allow that),and make adjustments to the message below. Hey there! Wondering what to expect as the end of the school year approaches? Have no fear! We have you covered! Students will have access to this year's courses until date. After that, their courses will be removed from their dashboards and they will not have access/will have read only access. Teachers will have access to make edits, score assignments, and make changes to grades in courses until date. After that, you will have read only access. (Don't worry though, you will still have access to import that content into next year's courses so you won't need to start from scratch!) Are you a go-getter, a planner, always two steps ahead? Do you hate vacation time and want to spend June and July preparing to mold young minds this fall? If you are planning on working on your Canvas Courses over the Summer to get a jump start on next year, here are a few ideas on where to start! Share to Commons If you'd like to share your course content to Commons privately, with others in the district, or with the public, you will need to do so before your course is concluded on date. (Don't worry, you can still import the content without sharing to Commons if you choose. See below.) Create a "Sandbox" Course (Only if account setting, "who can create new courses - teachers" has been enabled) Since you won't have your course shells for next year's classes until closer to the fall, you can create a new course to begin preparing. Teach multiple preps/courses? You can create as many Sandbox Courses as your heart desires (just make sure to name appropriately to avoid confusion). ( You may want to establish a naming convention here). Import From Commons Import content from courses you have shared to Commons or resources shared by other educators into your new Sandbox Courses. Copy Course Content From Past Course You can import all of your course content from the previous year or select specific content from past courses. Here (in your Sandbox), you can make any additions or edits to prepare for next year. Make sure to select the box to include completed courses to get a full list. When you get your new course shells in the fall, follow the directions above to import the content from your Sandbox Course or last year's completed courses into your official fall Canvas courses.

The Conferences tool, provided by Big Blue Button, is one of the more powerful ... and lesser known ... tools in Canvas. Obviously, it's handy for recording lessons or broadcasting them live to students who are absent, for connecting online-only teachers and students, and for inviting remote guests and speakers into the classroom. Now there are new features that make Conferences better than ever. In this Webinar we'll cover the following: How to find and use Conferences Features of Conferences / Big Blue Button ... both free and paid Ideas for creative ways of using Conferences in your instruction Time for your questions and comments
