Back To School, Canvas Style

This time of year always makes me think of my first day of school. I was 5 years old, and I had literally no idea what I was in for. Almost 2 decades, several college majors (Music, Psychology, English, Economics, and back to English) and one college degree later, I was much, much wiser. I can tell you in retrospect that I never would have made it if it hadn’t been for some great teachers, some smart friends, and a willingness to ask for help.

My first day of school sendoff looked much
like this.

Likewise, some of you are having your first experience with Instructure Canvas. Maybe you have a good idea of where you're going with Canvas. Maybe you don’t. Either way, it never hurts to have a little assistance. Fortunately, Canvas has some excellent resources and a great community of users who love to help. You can ask questions on Twitter or engage other users on several Facebook pages, or, if you’re an administrator and want to talk to other administrators who are using Canvas, check out the Utah State University Canvas listserv or the Canvas Google Group. As for official Instructure resources, you can watch some videos about Canvas on our video page or check out our support site.

Also, we’d love to hear stories about how Canvas is making your back-to-school experience easier in the comments. We hope you have a great year!
