Introduction
You already use Canva for flyers and handouts—now take the next step. “Create and Sell Digital Teaching Printables with Canva,” led by Michelle Flores and offered through SchoolDay Academy (powered by Coursera), shows educators how to design polished, student-ready materials and package them as sellable digital products.
This intermediate guided project is ideal if you’re comfortable with Canva basics and want practical workflows for building classroom printables—spelling sheets, math pages, and student journals—plus the know-how to protect, package, and list your designs online.
Why This Course Matters
Great printables boost engagement and save hours—especially when they’re built from reusable templates. This project helps you:
- Create curriculum-aligned worksheets and journals that look professional and print cleanly.
- Turn class resources into digital products to share, give away as lead magnets, or sell.
- Work faster with templates, consistent branding, and smart export settings.
- Protect your work with share, save, and basic IP-aware practices.
You’ll walk away with practical designs you can use tomorrow—and a repeatable workflow to scale your creative library (and income) over time.

Real-World Impact for Educators
For classroom use, you’ll design reusable templates that streamline weekly routines—word-study practice, math warmups, SEL journals, and calendars—so you spend less time formatting and more time teaching.
For a side business, the same assets can be bundled into printable sets (e.g., spelling packs by grade, math skill bundles, seasonal journals). You’ll be ready to present products with polished previews and proper exports for marketplaces or your own store.
After this project, you’ll be able to:
- Produce consistent, on-brand printables that align with your curriculum.
- Reuse and adapt templates to save hours each month.
- Package, preview, and protect downloads for sharing or selling.
