1. Work inside of Canva
Canva is a graphic design tool in itself, so students can do the work inside of Canva. It's easy to get signed up. Students can even use their Google accounts to create a free Canva account.* Students open a link to the template and choose the "Customize this template" button. They complete their work and either a) download and turn it in through your learning management system (LMS) or b) share it with you via Canva.
 
2. Download blank templates and add to Slides/PowerPoint
If you don't want students working inside another new app, you could always open one of the templates and delete the placeholder text in it. Download the template as an image file. Then open Google Slides or PowerPoint, set the size of the slides as the size of the template, and then set the background image as the Canva template image. Students can add text boxes and other things to the file before turning it in.
