Getting Started with Canvas
When it comes to getting started in Canvas, the most important thing is.....well...getting started. For some teachers, that means finding a template that works best for you. There are hundreds in the Canvas Commons, and this is a quick/easy way to get started, especially if you're crunched for time. If you're more specific about how you'd like your course to look/function, you may want to build it from the ground up (I promise, that's not as scary as it seems!)
Either way, I've included videos below to help you on your path. Below the videos there are also templates for creating your own buttons/banners (these can be utilized for either templates or self-built courses). As I said before, getting started, although a little scary, is a big first step! You'll learn a lot from just diving in and trying things out. Check out Settings>Student View to see what things will look like for your students, and don't forget to publish components you're ready for students to view. Happy Canvasing! :)
