Case Study: Balboa High School fosters student-led collaboration in the classroom with Canva Education

Balboa High School uses Canva Education to power 26 years of student-led collaboration

The customer, Balboa High School, a comprehensive public school in San Francisco, faced the challenge of fostering student collaboration and a cohesive classroom environment during the shift to remote learning. The educator, George Lee, sought an opportunity within this crisis and turned to the vendor, Canva, utilizing its Education platform to facilitate innovative, student-led projects.

Canva's solution provided simultaneous collaboration tools within a shared online workspace. This allowed students to work on projects like self-portraits together in real-time, viewing each other's progress, making comments, and using various features to express themselves regardless of technical ability. For the educator, this meant the ability to observe creative processes in action. The result was a highly engaged classroom where students could learn from one another, fostering the connection and cohesiveness that was the primary goal.
