Student-safe AI products, 5,000-plus free classroom resources for teachers

Canva, the world's only all-in-one visual communication platform, recently announced the launch of a suite of K-12 education products as part of its Canva for Education platform, making it the first company to introduce AI-powered educational tools at scale.

The new suite of offerings, which includes a range of AI tools, interactive lessons and curriculum-supporting content, takes Canva from a classroom design tool to an end-to-end education platform capable of producing and teaching complete lessons with ease.

The launch coincided with the company surpassing more than 50 million education users worldwide, a figure that has more than doubled in the last 12 months.

"These new products evolve Canva from a classroom design tool to a comprehensive learning platform for students and educators," said Cameron Adams, co-founder and chief product officer of Canva. "We're incredibly excited to see how these tools help millions of teachers to supercharge their creativity, save time and engage their students by embracing the best of what this new technology has to offer."

Canva's Classroom Magic is a suite of new artificial intelligence tools designed for the classroom with privacy, trust and safety at the forefront.

"Teachers should be inspired by technology to elevate how they teach. The 140,000-strong Canva for Pinoy Teachers community exemplifies our commitment to accessible and collaborative design for Filipino educators. We empower teachers and students to a visually-driven world and commit to being a truly safe partner to them." said Yani Hornilla-Donato, country manager of Canva Philippines.

With the introduction of Canva's new Lesson Suite, the company is offering a range of new tools designed to help teachers save hours of preparation by delivering creative, engaging and interactive lessons directly within the platform.

Canva Shield encompasses several industry-leading safety measures, including a robust trust and safety features, reporting functionality, automatic content moderation and the strict protection of student and teacher data.

School administrators can set permissions for access to AI tools, there is an automatic review of input prompts to prevent inappropriate material, over 10 thousand words are blocked to ensure AI content is safe for school and any potentially unwanted terms or content can be blocked and reported.

Since launching in 2019, Canva for Education has evolved into a holistic, end-to-end resource for educators. Canva firmly believes in leveling the playing field, ensuring that every classroom, regardless of its location or resources, has equal access to cutting-edge technology, completely free of charge.
