Smart Skills for a Digital World

 

The better you understand tech, the more useful it becomes. Canva is a creative tool you’ll actually use, so let’s start there and take it one step at a time.

People say Canva is easy – so why doesn’t it feel that way?

For Adults: Stop Wasting Time in Canva and Start Creating With Confidence

If you open Canva with great ideas but get stuck trying to make them happen, you’re not alone. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be that way.

 

I teach practical, no-fluff Canva skills that help you:

✅ Understand the essential tools so you can stop wondering how to do something and focus on what you’re creating.
✅ Work faster and more efficiently because you feel comfortable with the tools and workflow.
✅ Make designs that do what you need them to whether it’s for work, business, or personal projects.

The best part? The skills you learn today will keep saving you time—helping you create with ease, consistency, and confidence long into the future.

👉 Courses and workshops for adults, business owners, and social media content coming soon!

Kids don’t just need to consume technology, they need to know how to: use it, create with it, & think with it.

Most Kids Use Tech Every Day, But Are They Actually Learning?

 

Kids jump into platforms like Canva, figure things out as they go, and create designs that are pretty impressive!

It’s easy to assume they’re learning real skills, and if you ask them, they’ll confidently tell you they’ve got it covered.

But here’s the problem…

🔹 They’re not actually learning, they're just making things work.
Most kids aren’t thinking about how a tool works, they’re experimenting and adapting until they get the result they want.

🔹 This builds bad tech habits.
When kids rely on trial and error, they start believing that as long as they eventually get what they want, learning doesn’t really matter.

🔹 This will make it harder for them to keep up with new tech when it really counts.
Kids won’t sit through a dry tech lesson, but they love creating and exploring. It’s up to us to provide opportunities for that curiosity to become real skills. If we don’t guide them now, they’ll keep guessing their way through, holding them back when they need to use technology in more important ways.

That’s Why I Created This Course

✅ Teaches kids real digital skills so they don’t just think they know what they’re doing
✅ Guides them to use Canva in a smart, intentional way, learning the why, not just the how
✅ Feels like creative play but builds skills they’ll use everywhere

They’re already using Canva. Let’s make sure they’re actually learning from it.

 

Kids Get Creative With Canva is a self-paced online course for ages 6–12 that builds real digital skills.

 

It supports school learning and gives homeschoolers a structured, engaging way to develop essential tech skills without adding extra prep or planning for parents.

Kind words from Ginny 🙏

This presentation was excellent! You gave lots of tips on how to be more efficient in using Canva and you SHOWED how to do it.

This is one of the best presentations I've ever seen because I learned something almost every minute. So many presentations in various summits, etc. are filled with so much talking and fluff that it's not worth the time it takes to watch it.

This one was definitely worth it for me. Thank you so much for offering this. (November 2024)
