What's included
6 live meetings
5 in-class hoursHomework
2-4 hours per week. Each week I will give students an assignment based on the content we covered in the lesson. They will need to submit this back to me for review before the next class session. This allows me to give adequate feedback. By the end of class, they should have a polished presentation.Assessment
Informal assessment. I will review the progress of the slide series each week and reply back with feedback.Class Experience
In this six-week course, I will walk students step-by-step through the process I go through when creating class material. This class will give a "behind the scenes" look into the process of content creation. Whether the usage will be for 4H, Pony Club, high school projects, or eventually college purposes, this course will equip students to confidently utilize Canva to cultivate unique equine presentations. Each week we will build on the topics covered, eventually leading to the final product. The course syllabus is as follows: Week #1- Creating the Outline Week #2- Learning the Tools of the Toolbar Week#3- Theme, Fonts, and Colors Week #4- Applying the Outline Week #5- Inserting Material and Organization Week#6- Polishing Student will receive customized attention and feedback on their projects, in addition to unlimited messaging with the teacher. I keep a "relaxed" policy on all my classes, I find that some people in the overall horse community can take things too seriously and it destroys all the fun and puts unnecessary pressure on students. I want students to enjoy the learning process.
Learning Goals
It is my goal and hope to provide encouragement and knowledge to my students. At the end of this course I want them to feel empowered about creating content that they can confidentially present before an audience.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Canva is REQUIRED for this class, preferably CanvaPro.
I have a few general rules that I like to abide by so our classes run smoothly:
1. Avoid interrupting the teacher/other students. I know internet lag can cause overlap, so try to make sure the other person is done talking first to help mitigate this. Raising your hand if you have a question or comment also helps keep things orderly and gives everyone a chance to talk.
2. Participate in class in a quiet room, if possible. If there is background noise, please mute yourself unless you are speaking.
3. Per Outschool policy, parents must stay off camera and not interact with the class (this includes posing as the child in the chat and messaging functions, telling the child what to say or do, challenging/asking/interacting with the teacher). Of course, if your student is having technical difficulties you can help them. I am more than happy to interact with parents outside of class time via Outschool’s private messaging system.
4. Do not distract the class by abusing drawing tools in Zoom.
5. Use the chat box for things relevant to class. I check it every time that it is used and if it is for goofing off it takes away time from other students who are paying attention.
6. Per Outschool policy, all students must turn on their cameras so I can confirm their identity for safety reasons. Once I have confirmed this, I have no problem with them preferring to keep the camera off.
7. If you are having internet connectivity issues, please let me know.
8. If the student will be absent for a class, please let me know ahead of time if possible so I can adjust the class accordingly.
9. Students that are misbehaving get two warnings, then the third offense will result in the child being put in the Zoom waiting room until the class has concluded. No refunds will be given if this has occurred.
For any inquiries/comments regarding classes, please message me privately so I can do my best to address your needs. Thanks!
