Using Canva to Create Newsletters Amy knows that newsletters are an important part of a school librarian’s job because it helps communicate with all the stakeholders in your school community. How do you start, what program do you use, and what types of information do you include? Creating a well designed newsletter can be very time consuming, so the program you use should be easy. This webinar will teach you step by step how to create a newsletter to share with your community. It will also give suggestions of topics to include, and real newsletters to model the end results. If you would like your community to be more informed about your school library this webinar is for you. |
