Canva

Hi, there! I hope you well today. 

In this article I'd like to share about a very useful website that I've been using as a substitute for Microsoft Power Point. it is called Canva.

Canva

"What makes this so different that a PPT?"

Well, this website gives you a lot and I mean a lot of templates to use for example. You have thousands upon thousands of templates you can use. You can also use video links from YouTube and show the videos immediately in the slides. So, in short, this is PPT plus.

"That is good, plain ol' Power Point is boring"

I couldn't agree more. Now, let me show you how it works.

1. Creating an account

After opening the link, you will see this screen: https://www.canva.com/

As always, simply click sign up or log in to either make an account or log in to an existing account.

2. Making a design

In this screen, you can click the big purple button on the top-right corner of the screen. Mine is written in Indonesian so it says "Buat Design" or in English "Create a Design". 

Here, you simply need to choose which type of design you want to use.

On the left side of your screen, you can see some templates for your design. You can choose one or some, depending on your needs and interests. When you have finished doing that, you can click "Bagikan" or "Share" on the top-right corner of the screen to either share or present your design.

Of course, it also has some pros and cons, especially when compared directly to a Microsoft Power Point.

The Pros:

1. It is simple to use the design templates.

2. You can modify existing design or add multiple designs for your presentation.

3. Your peers can access and edit your design as long as you grant them the permission.

4. There are plenty of decorations to use in your templates.

The Cons:

1. The user interface is less friendly compared to PPT.

2. There are some PPT features that are missing in Canva.

I think that's it for today, see youuu...
