What began as an email to staff at my school has become something that I look forward to each week.  I love to investigate new resources for those that teach and for those not necessarily in a classroom.  I hope that you can find things here that you can use!

With just a couple of minutes in PowerPoint, your announcements can look like this:

 

To create an image “Announcement”:

Create the announcement with images, colors, text as needed.

            (Pick a location) – I save mine in an “Announcements” folder in Pictures

            Change the type to a jpeg

                       

 

 

Go to Canvas.

Click on Announcements

            Click on +Announcements (top right)
