Who is Graduating from high School?
My Infographic adventure begins with clicking on the keys on the Canva site and nothing happens! Why were you clicking on the keys you ask? Because, as I looked at this site I smiled and thought, thank you God, it is easy to use! After doing some reading and watching a couple of videos, the easy appeared. It does almost everything for you, just copy and paste what you have researched, the words and the phrases you want to use. I was so excited as things literally started to fall into place. After all, it is only 1:30a.m Sunday morning, actually, it is now 3:30a.m and soon it will be time to rise for virtual church. Nonetheless, Infographic completed and now all I have to do is simply click download. Had you going didn’t I? Here is where it gets tricky! Since free is not entirely free, unless you subscribe for 30 days with a small fee of $119. But of course, we were warned not to pay for anything and so the clicking started all over again. Some one behind the keys notice that I was relentless and set me free to download, with watermarks on my work. I took a chance and I must be tired because I am not seeing watermarks. I will definitely will expose my students and team mates to this product. It is a great avenue to share information without all of the heavy reading. It is colorful and eye catching, but yet an informative tool.
