Canva for Education

Canva for Education includes all the features of Canva Pro such as millions of premium images, fonts, graphics, videos, and animations, plus photo background remover and more. 

It also includes a host of education features such as thousands of education-focused templates, a simple workflow for teachers to manage student work, and integrations with Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams.

You can only link your Google Drive to one Canva account. If you have already linked your DoE Google Drive to another account you will need to unlink it or close that account to enable Google Drive connection. (Note this does not apply to Google Classroom.)

For information on how you can use and share Canva content take a peek at their license agreements information.

Canva for Education has all the features of Canva Pro and more, but remember Canva for Education can only be used for Education purposes! If you had a Canva Pro Account before the switch to SSO you will still be able to toggle to this account with SSO, simply click on the Team switcher in the top right of your screen! If you choose to end your Pro subscription your designs will remain, but will be watermarked. Sharing or opening these within your new Education team will return all functionality for you!

You will need to remove the student from your class and you can do this by

2. Select classes from the menu on the left
3. Select the class from which you wish to remove the student
4. Select the three dots next to their name and select ‘Remove from class’*
