Canva

Canva is an online design tool that offers users the opportunity to create professional-looking posters, slideshows, images, event flyers, resumes, cards, certificates, infographics, and other media.

LPS students (grades 3-12) and staff can access Canva EDU accounts by signing in via the LPS Portal. EDU accounts include all the same features as Canva Pro accounts, as well as Canva assignments through Google Classroom in LPS. 

NOTE: The Magic AI tools are only available to LPS staff as they are not turned on for students at this time.

Getting Started

For all LPS staff and students (grades 3-12), accessing Canva is as easy as signing into Canva via the LPS Portal. This ensures you’re signed into your LPS EDU account, and will see your corresponding building “team” within Canva. HERE is a link to Canva’s welcome information for teachers (Note that all students and staff should sign into Canva via the LPS Portal).

If you were a Canva user prior to LPS’s integration, and you shared content from your old account to your new account, you might need help accessing that content. These slides guide users through switching teams, as well as sharing content between teams. 

Team Management

Each LPS building has its own “Team” set up inside of Canva. This means as staff and students move from building to building, they may see multiple teams and might need to move projects from one team to another. To do this: 

  1. From the homepage or Projects, look for the design, file, or folder you want to copy and click the More icon on its thumbnail.
  2. Click Copy to another team.
  3. Select the team where you want to send the copy.
  4. Click Copy to confirm, and then wait until the item is successfully copied to the other team.
