Their presentation on how they are using Canva Education was not theoretical. It was strategic, practical and entirely focused on improving teaching and learning while reducing teacher workload. In this episode of Miss Estruch Teach & Tell, we unpack exactly how they are using Canva AI and Canva Code to transform traditional paper-based, time-heavy classroom activities into powerful, reusable digital tools. We discuss: • How static worksheets are being replaced with interactive digital activities • The shift from manual marking to auto marked quizzes • Creating interactive matching tasks, fill in the gap exercises and flashcards • Building student websites • Instantly collating and tracking assessment data visually • Using data more intelligently to inform teaching Most importantly, we explore how this approach: • Reduces unnecessary repetition • Improves student engagement • Increases retrieval practice • Makes formative assessment far more efficient • Supports a data informed approach to teaching This episode will challenge you to rethink what is possible with AI in education. The future is not about replacing teachers. It is about equipping teachers with tools that amplify impact and reduce workload.  Have you experimented with Canva AI or Canva Code in your setting?
