Canva
Canva is an amazing technology tool in which anybody can create posters, presentations, flyers, and more. It makes it easy for teachers to decorate and inform their students in a creative way. This tech tool can be used to manage student behavior, applying to component 2D, by coming up with posters that have class rules or information the student can look at.
Creating this Netiquette poster for third to fifth graders was so easy and fun. I thought the designs were so cool to use, and it is free. It is a super easy way to make a really creative and fun poster; I know I will use in the future. I think something I could have done differently in making this poster, is putting more pictures on it; there should be something comedic or a grabber to grab the attention of the students, so they will look and read the poster more. By using this tech tool, I will be able to engage the students more, having physical rules in a colorful and exciting poster. For those students in the ZDP zone, I can place helpful posters as scaffolds around the room to remind them of how they should act, or even create multiplication tables for students to use. There are many different ways I can use Canva, and I am excited to see all the different ways I can use it for my future classroom.

The Canva to the right could be used to introduce a student's family. They would write their name on the line, then draw their family on the white part of the poster paper. Future teachers can have the finished product hung around the classroom so everyone can see who each student's family members are.
