The opening of classes has started in most areas. Teachers and students are slowly shifting back to face-to-face classes this year, visual communication will continue to be an important tool for learning.
To continue making classrooms visually interactive and engaging, here are some balik-eskwela tips from Canva:
*Design visually appealing worksheets, learning materials, and school posters
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Sheila Micah Yao, a Canva teacher ambassador from Cauayan, Isabela, started her online business where she first discovered Canva. When classes officially resumed online, she returned to teaching and used Canva to create visually appealing worksheets and learning materials for her students.
Canva has thousands of printable worksheet templates that are free to customize, download, and use for any grade level. To learn more about how teachers can create, communicate and engage students with Canva for Education, Canva also offers design tutorials from engaging students with presentations to designing storyboard activities.

*Enhance class photos with Canva’s image-editing features
Whether it’s for your class officer board or new class IDs, you can easily enhance and add texts or frames to your students’ photos using Canva.
Claudine Mallari Buan, a teacher from Camias High School in Porac, Pampanga, surprised her students with a free graduation photoshoot last June. She edited the photos using Canva’s image-editing capabilities. From adding stickers, graphics, and frames, to removing backgrounds, Canva can help you make your photos stand out.
*Prep for the upcoming school year by attending Canva for Pinoy Teachers’ back-to-school webinar
To support teachers in their successful return to school, Canva Philippines held “Canva EskweLIVE: Kickstart Your Face-to-Face Classes with Canva Tools,” a free learning session hosted on the Canva for Pinoy Teachers Community on Facebook last August 10, 2022. The session featured a wellbeing talk from Canva Philippines Learning Designer Geryl Minguillo and a graphic design demo with Senior Brand Designer Yuni Lao.

In 2020, Canva launched Canva for Education which allows K-12 educators to create and personalize lesson plans, infographics, posters, and videos, and collaborate with their students for free. Canva Philippines also introduced Canva Eskwela, an online hub of learning resources that features free and visually engaging content especially tailored for educators and learners in the Philippines.
Now celebrating its 8th anniversary in the Philippines, Canva continues to empower educators and students with access to the collaborative visual communication platform.
