Creating a Canvas Home Page with links to your other Courses in Canvas

As the IGNITE Model Classroom teachers and I have been working together, we figured out an "easier" way for your students to access all of their courses with the click of the mouse- instead of many!

Part 1: Finding and creating pictures for Canvas 

&  

Uploading Images to Canvas

In this video, you will learn how to not only create your own subject images for your Canvas page, but also find beautiful, FREE images for it too! Then we will continue to add titles and upload them to your Canvas page. Doing the majority of work not will pay off with organization later on down the road. Have fun!

When you are searching for images make sure to think outside the box. Go from broad to specific.
For example:
Search Science, then maybe search Chemistry or Biology, etc. until you find the image you like!

Part 2: Link pictures to the additional courses on Canvas

For this part, you will need to have multiple tabs open at once. The concept is simple. 

Click on each pictures individually. Then copy (CTRL + C) the URL (web address) of the page course (Ex: Reading). Return to Canvas, click on the chain link and paste (CTRL + V) the URL in the rectangle. Hit OK. Repeat until all images are linked.

If you need any help let me know!
