What is Canvas?

Canvas is an online platform where:

• Assignments can be accessed by students

• Teachers can assign quizzes

• Teacher content already made and shared (and found!) in the Commonspace can be utilized

It is utilized heavily during eLearning days. It is also a tool that may be consistently used during the typical school day.

But, Why?

• GCS Technology Goal 4 states:  Implement a Learning Management System to facilitate the blended learning model and streamline communication and collaboration between parents, students, and teachers.

• Paperless classroom potential
