    Using Canva on Schoology (for teachers)

    This page will provide you with various tutorials on designing with Canva, as well as creating Canva templates and assignments to use in your Schoology Course. Visit this link to see how to use your new Canva account: https://www.canva.com/design/DAEgLO1jx10/wrgIwRSQto8GOjy_WET4gA/view?utm_content=DAEgLO1jx10&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=viewer


    Access Your Canva for Education account

    When you need to use your Canva account to create materials or to complete Schoology assignments, you will need to start by logging into Canva first to ensure you connect to your Canva account.

    1. Log into Schoology and click into one of your Courses.    

    2. Click on 'Canva for Education' from the left side bar.    


    3. Click 'Continue with Microsoft'.

    It should auto log you in. If it prompts you to log in, use your Microsoft 365 username (username with @sau19.org) and your normal password. Once logged in, you can design projects in Canva.

    ***Students (in grades 3+) will need to create their accounts as well, following these steps. Due to the Dee Freeze on the school devices that students use, each time they want to use Canva, they will need to log into Canva through connect.sau19.org and then they can click on Canva from the left side bar or click on a Canva assignment that you created in Schoology.
