Episode 191: 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 191 called 10 Canva Code Ideas for Teachers.  In this episode we’ll introduce, explain and analyze one of the features in Canva AI called Canva Code.  We’ll also share 10 ways that teachers can use it to help spark your creativity when it comes to this exciting new feature.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.


Segment 1: Intro to Canva Code


What is it?  Canva’s AI writes code for you to create specific games/apps/simulations/etc that function in Canva.  When you’ve got the code just right by prompting and then adjusting with other prompts, you can publish it as a Canva website for easy sharing.


What do you do with the code?  The code produced can be copy-pasted to other places OR just published directly in Canva as a Canva website.


Downsides: 

  1. Initial teacher response is often “why do i need to write code”?
  2. It can take some time to get the code right to produce what you want
  3. Does it exist somewhere else?  For example, why make a quizzes app in Canva?
  4. The prompt has a character limit, so you’ll have to adjust it as you go.  
  5. For example, start with a prompt that describes only the function of the app.  Then adjust it afterwards related to design.  Then again for differentiation, etc.


Why Use it: (what makes it worth the time)

  1. TREMENDOUS capability for teachers to make things that don’t exist anywhere else online
  2. Can ask it to add specific differentiations into any game/app created for whatever students you have
  3. Skip labor intensive prep for physical games
