Testimonials

"As a teacher, I am constantly searching for ways to improve my productivity while engaging students in the learning process. A few peers at my school mentioned that they utilized Canva for creating presentations and posters. Naturally, after viewing their vibrant work I wanted to learn how to do the same.
I found the video tutorials and PDF tips in Amelia Griggs' online Canva course invaluable in enabling me to quickly get started using the Canva tool. The course was organized in such an intuitive manner that any user would feel comfortable with navigating the lessons.  The clearly outlined objectives, colorfully bulleted PDFs, and pleasant assuring voice of the instructor engages the user and fosters confidence in the instructor's expertise.   During the tutorial, many authentic real-life examples are given for using Canva that are applicable not only in the business world but also in the education industry.  I look forward to more video courses from this designer/instructor."
