multiple learning delivery modalities, provision of corresponding training for teachers and school leaders, and proper
orientation of parents or guardians of learners;
3. Be sensitive to equity considerations and concerns, and endeavor to address them the best we can; and
4. Link and bridge the BE-LCP to DepEd’s pivot to quality and into the future of education, under the framework of Sulong
EduKalidad and Futures Thinking in Education.

Thus, the use of different learning modalities to meet the needs of the learners should be implemented. Moreover,
teachers and students are new to these kinds of modalities. Being in an unfamiliar territory, teachers need to adapt to the
changes to provide quality education among learners. Students these days are digital natives and studies say that they would
learn better and faster when they are taught in the way they prefer. Using technological advancements to cater the
teachinglearning process amidst pandemic may be the key to address the gap on educational system.

Learning Objectives At the end of the session, the participants are expected to:

• determine the importance and advantages of using Canva to enhance and meet the learners’
needs in the Blended Distance Learning;
• explore the necessary features of Canva as tool for designing graphics; and • create an

Key Understandings Canva is a free graphic design platform that allow everyone to easily create invitations, business cards, flyers, lesson
plans, Zoom backgrounds, and more using professionally designed templates. From basic cropping and straightening to
adding textures and color correcting, Canva's beginner-friendly features make editing photos simple. You can add a
textured background to give your photo more dimension, insert text to create your own meme, create a photo grid, blur
your photo, and more. Canva is best suited for small business owners, online entrepreneurs, and marketers who want to
design things quickly.
