You can create a shared folder for your classes where students can upload their Canva designs. This shared space is meant to be used as a collaborative space where all Canva designs can be viewed by everyone else in the course. This is great for informal projects, check-ins, and more. Information on creating a group can be found here on the [https://www.canva.com/help/groups/#:~:text=On%20the%20top%20corner%20of,Give%20your%20group%20a%20name. Canva support page].

Teachers will typically share an invite link out to students after creating a group. By sharing the invite link via email or our learning management system, students and community members will automatically be added to the Canva Group and be given appropriate rights to the shared space.

== Contribute to Canva Group == | |||
Canva Groups/Classes show up as folders in the Canva interface. To contribute to a Canva Group: | |||
* Log in to Canva with your Riverdale Google account: https://canva.com | |||
* Click on '''''Projects''''' on the left hand side of the window | |||
* In the main part of the Canva window, click on the correct folder under the '''''Folders''''' section | |||
* Click on '''''Add new +''''' near the top of the screen | |||
Any new design you make from here will be in the shared folder/group. Please remember to create a Canva design this way instead of clicking on '''''Create design''''' at the top-most part of the screen. You want to make sure your project ends up in the right place! | |||
