Any ideas that would blow my mind?

I am a secondary teaching and learning specialist who had been teaching science for 20 years. We are a Canvas district and I have been using it for about a little over a decade. I have ideas for those starting out with Canvas but would LOVE ideas to help those who want to push the platform even further via innovative ideas for quizzes, add-on, discussions or anything. I want to take Canvas beyond multiple choice quizzes that students complete.

Thank you so much!!!

Hey Mike

Just posted about CurrikiStudio and links with Canvas. 

I also just made my first Escape Room in Canvas using pre-requisites and a range of other tools. Its not perfect and would benefit with some additional ideas and thoughts.

Whilst not hugely revolutionary, I like the idea of creating a role where senior students eg those doing IB/AP/A-Level could have authorship permissions to create pages.

I think the work Canvas are doing with digital badges (Canvas Credentials) is extremely revolutionary - we just need to get this into schools! There is a cost implication though.

Ages ago I played about with bots in Canvas and still think this has some mileage to make access easier for staff and students.

Had a look at the work being done on design with CidiLabs - this is amazing although not free. I've always used the mantra engagement is not a proxy for learning but I can see just how helpful good design is to get learners enthused by a topic.

Would love to catch up for a longer chat sometime. Perhaps we can get a group of us together online to shoot the edtech breeze!
