Although this post was written for schools, it is just as applicable to libraries. People seem to love Canva, and it is a great way to share what is going on in your library, lab, or classroom. More pictures, fewer words are what most people enjoy most. According to freetech4teachers.com…”When you’re creating graphics to use in your library Facebook posts, try to limit the text to only the most important information. In the post itself you can link to more information for parents and or students to read.”
I gave it a whirl based on the little tutorial embedded in this blog post. I didn’t do half bad in the 15 minutes I gave it. Let us know what you think or whether you already use Canva in this way! Better yet, send your Canva creations to admin@cmle.org
