This is how I do it. I am using a mask to reveal have at a time. Rotate hinting the direction I want them to go. (Cue the twenty people to tell me there is a better way with this or that plugin—but I don't care, it works for me)

TBH, before you get to all the fun and engagement in Figma, you need to have a strong foundation with a solid #FigmaEdu classroom set up. And no one is more qualified to share her best practices than @designscale! Def get those notepads (or FigJam files 😉) ready for this one

Working on some new @figma FigJam templates, this is one for making "arrow" timelines. Made these auto layout objects for it. What do y'all think? Helpful?

This is wonderful news for all educators!
Hi folks! In case you haven't heard, we're working with google to make @figma freely available on chromebooks to all US high schools. Q: What advice do you have for HS students who are curious about design? Is there anything you wish someone had told you?
