 Understanding Your Child’s Canvas Account

This video is created by Shara Johnson who may be the biggest fan of Canvas in the world and you can feel her enthusiasm through the screen. She has three kids, ALL in high school, so her expertise is well-earned.
 
The beauty of this video is that it was created in April 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic was hitting us hard. This makes this resource very timely, as it speaks to how Canvas will help us directly in our current situation. A bit long but you can watch in bits and pieces at your convenience.
