New Ways to Use Canva for Homeschooling

343: New Ways to Use Canva for Homeschooling
Canva continues to be one of the most versatile and homeschool-friendly tools available. In this episode, I’m joined again by Rebecca Brinkman, teacher of the Graphic Design with Canva class at show sponsor FundaFunda Academy. We explore the latest Canva updates for 2025 and how you can use them in your homeschool.

What We Cover:


Major interface changes – how the “Create” button and navigation have shifted.


Better organization – folders for uploads and easier searching.


AI tools in Canva – what’s still free, what’s limited, and how Canva Code opens doors to “vibe coding.”


Photo editing upgrades – including auto-select and advanced adjustments.


Canva Sheets – turning homeschool data into beautiful, visual charts and graphs.


Collaboration tools – why you should try designing alongside your students.


Rebecca also shares her free Canva 2025 Reference Guide so you can keep up with all the changes.
