Post 6 - Canvas

 This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically Canvas in the hardware list. https://canvas.ewu.edu/login/canvas

Description of the tool: Canvas is a learning management system for kindergarten through university level students. Canvas provides an area where students can complete courses, modules, and assignments. It allows for online and hybrid learning. Here is a tutorial of how to use Canvas as a student: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVfkFD45hL0 

Ease of use: Canvas is very easy to use with a clear dashboard for your courses and assignments, it has a consistent structure throughout the interface and it also has a calendar and to-do list to be able to see all of your assignments and know what you have due. 

Versatility: Canvas is versatile for all levels of students. You can also use Canvas on both your computer and mobile device. 

Overall likelihood of using it in your classroom: I will most likely use this application in my future teaching because most schools use this tool for students to complete assignments. 

Connection: Canvas connects to the TLC Tier 2 Assessing. Teachers are able to see students turned in assignments and test results and see how well they are understanding the material.
