What is Canvas?
Canvas is a digital learning platform that brings teachers, students and parents into one place for learning. Each secondary class has space for announcements, discussions, collaboration, assignments, quizzes and includes a calendar that tracks everything that goes on inside of Canvas. Additionally, Canvas has the ability to connect to textbooks and external tools such as Office 365, Flipgrid and Actively Learn, allowing teachers to connect students to powerful learning experiences.
