Students shouldn't need a navigation tutorial every time they enter a new Canvas course.
Consistency reduces confusion, saves teacher time, and helps students focus on learning.
How consistent are your district's Canvas courses?

Crazy, I was checking out @jmattmiller new AI for EDU book on Amazon - there are over 4000 new "AI Teaching" books in the last 90 days?! 🤯Really! When filtered to Education it's only 2000, still! Is Ai writing Ai books about teaching Ai? How much content is original vs Ai remix?

I am grateful to my fellow educators and leaders from Francis Howell, Rockwood, and MoreNet for being on a panel discussing school accessibility today at the @EducPlus #Innovate26 conference. Our message is simple: start small, you don’t need a perfect plan to begin. @CidiLabs

Nobody cares what you teach. It’s what kids carry forward after your lesson that matters. Well said @rickwormeli2

Students don’t learn by scrolling.
They learn when they’re asked to think, practice, apply, and reflect.
That’s why even simple interactive activities, like Fill-in-the-Blank exercises, can make Canvas courses more engaging and effective.

If I am a teacher prepping my class for summer & I use Canvas LMS> I'd want to scan & bulk remove any unused content: modules & assignments before I migrate to the next year course. I'd like to save time and energy with TidyUP from Cidi Labs. #IYKYK learnmore.cidilabs.com/watch…

UDL doesn’t scale through standardization.
It scales through better design.
In our latest webinar with CAST, we explored how to make UDL practical (and scalable) in Canvas.

Hey, I couldn't say it better. In all my PD sessions I plan and lead, I always aim for good design. It's rewarding to learn research supports the effort teachers put into making sessions fun and engaging. #gooddesign

Good course design makes a real difference for students.
Small design choices shape engagement, confidence, and learning over time.
