Canvas for Math Teachers (Tips, tricks and shortcuts)

With Canvas being a major district platform as well as a potentially convenient resource for teachers, students and parents, let's take a look at how you can make it work for YOU in a variety of ways. We will take a look at some potential options for ease of use, both for teachers as well as students and parents. We will also demonstrate how we can use Canvas features to create activities and quizzes that will grade themselves, allow students to check their work, AND allow familiarity with some of the new item types students are seeing on the EOC. Bring a fully charged laptop so we can create a sandbox course and get you started!
