Canva is more than a design tool — it can become a complete classroom workflow system that saves teachers time, improves organization, and creates a more cohesive learning experience for students. In this hands-on session, participants will explore practical ways to use Canva for real classroom teaching, beyond isolated worksheets or decorative materials.“Canva for Real Classrooms” demonstrates how printed student workbooks, classroom presentations, daily agendas, instructional slides, and activities can be streamlined into one connected visual system. Participants will learn how consistent layouts, visual cues, icons, color palettes, and reusable templates can reduce student confusion while making lesson preparation faster and more efficient.The session begins with examples from real classroom implementation and ideas inspired by the Canva Create 2026 conference. Participants will then engage in guided creation time, building components of a mini-unit in Canva, including a student activity page and matching presentation slides using reusable design elements and classroom-friendly visual strategies.During independent creation time, teachers will adapt these techniques to their own subjects and grade levels. Participants will leave with practical Canva skills, reusable workflows, time-saving strategies, and free classroom-ready templates they can immediately use in their own teaching.

This workshop addresses the technical, ethical, and environmental dimensions of Artificial Intelligence. Educators will examine the fundamentals of how AI works, the impact of societal bias in data, and the importance of using objective language when discussing automated systems. The session also investigates the environmental footprint of generative AI and introduces classroom resources, including a school digital audit to help students analyze and discuss sustainable technology policies.

Designed for teachers looking to incorporate digital literacy into their current practice, this workshop walks through the fundamentals of computational thinking using Scratch. We will build sample projects together and review the Experience CS lesson framework, which supports teachers of all technical backgrounds. The session concludes with a breakdown of how these resources map to the Quebec elementary curriculum to ensure seamless classroom integration.
