I've found it very useful if only just mentally, to be able to see how I stack up to my class on assignments and tests. I understand this feature can be disabled by the instructors, yet I know people in my same class with the ability to see this feature on their iPhones, while I can't on my Android. Seems like it was an…
I was challenged by my colleagues to write a post reflecting on 2018. Oh, I've had several ideas about what I could write about...I could share a metaphor about how much I love my G2 gel pens and how they're like the community (I started a draft that I couldn't seem to complete), or I could share a metaphor about the…
Hi, I developed a button generator for Canvas LMS. https://pablogguizar.github.io/button_maker/. I used HTML and CSS components from the style guide (https://canvas.instructure.com/styleguide#). The button maker allows you to generate an HTML script that can be embedded in the Rich Content Editor (RCE). This application…
Canvas Community In early March, we knew what was coming. Right before St. Patty's Day several Canvas community members came together to hash out a series of livestream webinars to help our global Canvas family pivot to emergency remote teaching & learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though those members knew they…
Two years have flown by as a member of this versatile community. I can’t let this anniversary go by without taking stock on what has happened in that time for me. Learning One of the main reasons for joining the community was to learn how to drive Canvas. I’ve learned so much. But more importantly I’ve learned that I don’t…

Here are a few highlights from us: * Canvas, our brand new Learning Management System (LMS), began in all state schools across the state. It replaced a…
When I started as an Instructional Designer in 2017, I had really no idea what I was getting into. I had made a few career hops (technical support to human resources to high school teacher to junior high teacher), but instructional design was never on my radar. In fact, I had plans to move on to being a university…
As I reflect on last year, I can’t help but truly think – what happened? I was attempting to reflect (like, actually reflect, reflect), and in talking with the best manager in the world, @tdelillo , I realized – there are chunks missing from 2018. It’s all a blur; almost like I blacked out. But, here’s what I can tell you…
As 2018 came to a close and 2019 began, my work world stilled -- “not a creature was stirring” as most of my faculty and students and other constituents broke away for their well-deserved holidays. For once, my inbox was not brimming and my chat line was eerily quiet. This welcome respite gave me a chance to slow down a…
So, I'm the world's worst blogger and terrible about self-reflection--I never seem to accomplish either, no matter how many times I set aside to write with a plethora of good intentions about what the final work product will be. (The fact that Canvas told me I had an auto-saved draft of blog content from 2017…
