Part 9: TikTok’s got the tricks

This week, I took my learning to everyone’s most loved/hated app – TIKTOK !!

I cannot believe the range and amount of information you can find on there to make the lives of you & your students so much more exciting makes me so happy 😎.

Video 1: Canva Presentation to Google Slides

    • Open your completed presentation and select SHARE
      • Select MORE (…) > Google Drive
        • Change to PPTX 
        • Make sure ALL pages are selected
      • Open Google Drive
        • Select the folder you saved to and open your pptx
        • File > Save as Google Slides
          • You may need to change the font if it doesn’t exist on Google
        • Everything is Editable after that!
    • This tip is new for me because last week I watched a tutorial that said it wasn’t possible to save a Canva presentation to Google Docs – happy I have now learned how!
    • I will absolutely be using this because I like to have ALL of my materials saved to Google Drive where I can access them forever and easily share them with my coworkers!

It is a very easy way to present your work in a way that is easy to digest and that you have the ability to design exactly the way you want it!

Video 3: Free Classroom Posters to Match Your Classroom Colours

  • Search for a color palette that matches your classroom
  • Open a document
    • Select templates
    • Find the posters you’d like (i.e., subjects, quotes, saying
    • Copy and paste the colour palette image on top of the poster > apply colours to page
      • Select paint roller     from the tool bar and use it to apply style to other pages

This tip is life-saving when it comes to decorating your classroom and filling it with the posters you need and want to share with your students – rather than spending a bunch of money to get packages of materials, you can use what’s free to make it yours!

Video 4: Using Canva to Create Your Own Colouring Pages or Book

  • Create a colouring book outline on a document
    • Consider a theme (i.e., Christmas, School, Dogs & Cats, Candy, Fashion, Jewelry, Sports)
      • Consider titles, subtitles, the demographic and age of your students
      • Consider how detailed you want your colouring pages to be (complex or simple?)
    • Decide what size book you want to do
      • 8.5 by 8.5
      • 8.5 by 11
    • Search Elements 
      • Example: “Christmas black & white” or “Christmas Outline”
      • Insert the images onto your page (must use more than one for copyright reasons)
      • Make the page look anyway you want by inserting as little or as many graphics as you’d like
      • Resize and adjust your graphics to create your own unique colouring page
