Listen Later

In this packed short episode, we sit down with Matt from Canva on Day 3 of Bett 2026 to discuss how the platform has exploded to serve over 120 million monthly active teachers and students worldwide. Matt walks us through the "magic" of their latest features, including his personal favorite, Magic Sort. He explains how this AI-powered tool can instantly organize messy classroom brainstorming sessions into structured topics and documents with just two clicks, offering a massive time-saving advantage for busy educators.

The conversation also dives into Canva's ambitious vision for 2026: becoming "truly local". Matt details how they are moving beyond simple translation to ensure design elements authentically represent local cultures and festivals, allowing every student to feel seen. We also hear about major milestones, such as the new partnership to equip every student in Northern Ireland with Canva , and an inspiring story from Thailand where a teacher transformed a dry science curriculum into an engaging, student-led TV show.
