Questions

Do I need Canva?

No. Resources are designed for Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, and printable PDF.

Can I edit the resources?

Yes. Editable files let you customize everything to fit your classroom before printing or presenting.

Can I share the files with another teacher?

Each purchase is a single-classroom license for one teacher. If a colleague would like a copy, please encourage them to purchase their own. Schools can contact us about multiple licenses.

Do you offer refunds?
